The Age on the future of newspapers

The Age on Saturday carried a piece, Newspapers’ dog days – getting on with online. The article provides a good summary of the situation and provides context for newsroom cuts. I’d like to see consideration of implications for the supply chain. Newsagents rely on newspaper traffic for consumer relevance. A fall in newspaper sales puts that at risk. Indeed, coupled with a fall in lottery sales (as they move online) newsagents need to reinvest elsewhere to create a strong future. So, it’s not just newsrooms, the impact of the shift of advertising from print to online will affect many businesses and employees.
