    That’s a cool map, but the newspaper was dead each time they introduced the telegram, radio, tv, internet, etc.

    I don’t think it’ll die, but maybe some parts to it need to be refined though.

    I must also have my head in the sand, I agree with Michael, I believe that some things will need to be refined in regards to both Newspapers and Magazines however I don’t believe they will ever fully die out.

    Ok but how about we expect them to and prepare for this. How we view our businesses will change.

    Mark, I do agree with your point of view that newsagencies need to diversify in order to survive in the current and future economy – Relying on Newspapers and magazine sales alone is financial suicide.
