'The Market and the Internet Don't Care if You Make Money'

I won't argue your business model points. BUT what about Obama's election. Newspapers were sold out worldwide. My point is not that the author is wrong and newspaper CEO's do need to change. I bristle with the suggestion that Print is dead or will be dead. When that comment is made what is the meaning "Print will die." Does it mean newspapers will die or PRINT will die? There will always be PRINT! The day after Obama's election proves their is still an interest in Print. Now I know people did not run out to read the articles but rather bought the papers as a collector's item. Which is my point. Printing is more than newspapers. There is commercial printing, printing magazines, printing labels on wine bottles etc... Not everyone has a blackberry and not everyone wants to sit in doctor's office waiting room looking at a blackberry. Me? I rather read a magazine or a newspaper when I am sitting on the toilet taking a dump then looking at a high tech berry or holding a lap top. As for GOOGLE... Agree about their business model. But I know the CEO of Google takes no pleasure in seeing what has happened to the newspaper business. It's very expensive to do the expansive in depth reporting about an important issue. Newspapers and their websites such as the washington Post are still best equipped. When I read a major story I look to the Wall Street Journal, Wash Post, Slate or some other major media center online rather than a blog site.
