I don't subscribe to three newspapers for the news alone.  I really like the op/ed sections, in-depth pieces, style, recipes, supplements, crosswords, etc.  I currently read print but could imagine switching to a tablet someday.  What I couldn't imagine would be doing without my morning reading fix!

I think with tablets becoming so popular in the market digital versions of the content will still find a home.

Well, the paper is probably going to go extinct regardless of what the price is. I just hope that the traditional newspaper firms can thrive on new media platforms, because I'm not fully sold on the idea that investigative journalism will survive otherwise. Or journalistic integrity, for that matter.

News is so readily available cheaply today you really have to like a paper to pay the print price, I picked up a NYT the other day in shock of the price. Sorry I am not attached to the paper and could get my news from many online venues for free even with the paywalls. I am afraid the paper will be a dinosaur in a matter of years. At least we will save some trees.

Yes Noreen I believe there is always a place for trusted and well reported news. The success now depends on the form of distribution. A feeling of nostalgia and habit may make some readers still want to have a tangible physical form of a news paper in their hands but people's needs are changing so it's high time the news paper industry took note of this and catered to their customers changing needs.

Noreen, I could not agree more. There still is a place and a need for traditional journalism, I hope what it is experiencing now is just some growing pains as it transitions to the digital world.....

A place for newspapers

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is a place in this country for good, traditional journalism. Let's hope the new subscription model will help to revive some of these dying papers, albeit in a new and more easily accessed form.
