The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.
From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.
I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasn't necessarily intending to read.
All our reporters and editors now work seamlessly in print and online. This integration has transformed the way we work. I believe this is vital to the success and growth of newspapers.
Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.
From that moment on, the newspaper became a highly lucrative investment for those with a talent for making money or for publishers wanting to gain a fortune.
The newspaper offers something very different from Google's aggregators. It offers a value system, an idea of what matters in the world. Newspapers need to start articulating that value.
A good newspaper is never nearly good enough but a lousy newspaper is a joy forever.
I don't want to see the end of popular print journalism.
A newspaper is lumber made malleable. It is ink made into words and pictures. It is conceived, born, grows up and dies of old age in a day.
