News Corp shows it thinks the future is digital

In today’s Herald Sun News Corp shows retailers don’t matter.

This move is what I would do if I were them. Print for news is dead.

    Like many newspapers, the headline doesn’t match the story. The offer is not digital-only but is a print/digital combo subscription….and has been a pretty standard offer for years by my recollection. I understand your gripe for retailers but newsagents with distribution wouldn’t have the same axe to grind.

    What’s different is retail only can’t remove the sticker. This move will serve to see newspapers in fewer outlets.

    I don’t understand the argument that this is a digital push when the offer includes print.

    Nothing new here. Let’s stop discussing moves by publishers, giving them free publicity and only discuss avenues that benefit us.
