Thanks to Leonard Witt’s excellent pjnet blog I have been fortunate to find the following podcast, The Future of Newspapers, from San Francisco based public radio station KQED. The 51 minute podcast is fascinating. Australian newsagents should listen as should newspaper executives in Australia who publicly say that it’s business as usual for newspapers.
I am unafraid of the changes which are so evident in the distribution of news and information overseas. They present opportunities for newsagents to reinvent themselves and have more control over their business future.
