I agree that the mediocre middle is most vulnerable here. Many resourceful bloggers are capturing huge audiences with their unique points of view, while the mass media will thrive on ad revenue from multiple sources. Local newspapers will simply have to offer a better online experience, attract an audience and demonstrate its exposure to advertisers. People won’t pay for news they can get elsewhere – especially when it’s just a click away.

What the old and established newspapers have is their reputations, i.e. brand names with a certain content, which is the result of years work. Why don`t they use this in the Net, where one of the major concerns is the false information.

I am sure people can subsribe it in the same way as they subscribe paper editions. The newspaper industry has ruined its own business by delivering the content ( or part of it ) for free. Of course they have to think online products in its own way, not as online versions but as separate products with its own marketing strategy.

i'm not sure the media industry could coax monetization the same way as, say the music industry could. while both can receive income through ad-supported avenues, music at least has its own product to sell. individual bloggers may not yet be as organized as established media companies, but still i see no other form of revenue for them other than advertising unless they provide a separate and exclusive product/service.

I understand the “we have to do something to stay afloat” mentality, but I personally don’t ever see myself spending money to read news articles any more. The business model of the “news” industry has a lot of holes in it and with sites (aggregators) such as Google News compiling top stories, it becomes increasingly difficult to charge customers to read articles.

Here’s a case-in-point. I use to live in a town that had a local paper and when I moved away I went to their website to view the online version to catch up on things going on “back home”. Unfortunately for me, they wanted to charge me to read articles. So what did I do? I never went back to the site again and instead relied on friends, family, and other methods of gathering “top stories”. Who lost in this? Definitely the paper because I’m one less “user” they can offer their advertisers…think of this on a much larger scale and how much will that impact advertiser income? A lot.

The internet was the game changer…traditional media should have embraced that back in the 1990′s. Those that didn’t are now scrambling to even stay in business. It’s sad, but companies are reaping the decisions they made years ago…whether good or bad.

Now all we need is the government to bail them out…….
