Irony in print is dying story

There is irony in the report in The Australian yesterday reporting an expert claiming that print will be dead in 5 to 10 years.  The report is behind the new paywall if you navigate through the newspaper website – offering commentary about the changing nature of digital access to news.  You can get to the full story, outside the paywall, here.

I think that it is inevitable that daily news will move from print to digital formats.  The nature of today’s news cycle and the growing ease of availability of mobile digital devices make it inevitable.  The challenge is what happens in the meantime and how we leverage the opportunities which flow from disruption to print.

    This is the closest one I could find.

    I have been trying to get onto news.com.au since 4.30am this morning and have had no success. Every other website works fine. Luckily I don’t have to pay for it because I would be asking for my money back.
