Columbia Journalism Review, January/February 2007 – The Race, by Robert Kuttner: “By the usual indicators, daily newspapers are in a deepening downward spiral. The new year brought reports of more newsroom layoffs, dwindling print circulation, flat or declining… Assuming that most dailies survive the transition, my guess is that in twenty-five years they will be mostly digital; that even people like me of the pre-Internet generation will be largely won over by ingenious devices like Times Reader, supplemented by news alerts, rss feeds…But whether newspapers are print or Web matters far less than whether they maintain their historic calling.”
