Quote

From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.

The reason we have not gone to newspapers is because its a slow growth industry and I think they are dying. I'm not sure there will be newspapers in 10 years. I read newspapers every day. I even read Murdoch's Wall Street Journal.

News in printed form is in secular decline. However, news delivered the way consumers want it is growing and thriving.

I think there'd be huge losses if there weren't newspapers. I know everything's shifting to the Internet and some people would say, 'News is news, what you're talking about is a change of consumption, not the product that's out there.' But I think there is a change.

Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever puts one down without the feeling of disappointment.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.

I think almost every newspaper in the United States has lost circulation due to the Internet. I also think the Internet will lead to a lot of plagiarism in journalism.

We are not going to do ourselves any favors by buying into what's printed in newspapers.
