In his blog at PC World, No More Dead-Tree Newspapers?, Editor in Chief Harry McCracken gets right to the point and says: the classic morning newspaper no longer feels essential. He talks about news online being free versus the high cost for a home delivered newspaper. He also talks about more content in a newspaper than he has time for. He ends posing a question: How has the Web changed how you get your news?
Newsagents and those in the news and information supply chain ought to ask customers that question. It’s time for some unscientific research on flat and falling newspaper circulation.
