A Sad Day for Newspapers

Excellent list... and one that I concur with. It shows that media outlets producing quality and relevant journalism will survive in different formats.

Seeking Alpha is a great new format that I have been impressed with. The comments section calls out the truly bad analysis and has also helped me discover great investment and trading ideas.

As far as other formats, the only reason I don't read the WSJ newspaper regularly is that I live in Europe and it is too expensive on a daily basis.

I love the Economist, Wired, Monocle and Foreign Affairs.

If the list is a predictor of what publications will survive, then say goodbye to generalist newspapers.

Sell what's left of the New York Times.

Sadly, coming from someone who thus far has made a living as a newspaper designer.
