The Fundamental Problem of Newspapers on the Internet

Interesting article. I think most papers are looking for there to be a direct translation of the print counter part. I often wonder what newspapers would have looked like if they had been invented after the internet.

I'd love to see the print edition become a premium on Demand product, and spend more time drilling the website down into smaller and smaller niche.

I do think that if anyone is doing it better is the New York Times, but like a lot of sites, they didn't figure out how to make money before making the jump. Now, I just want it free.

Robert, I hope you are considering presenting this paper at some industry conferences. They need to hear this.
