Comments on: Newspaper Death Spiral Continues http://andrewduck.name/2009/02/newspaper-death-spiral-continues/ Musing of Life, Work and Play In Transit by Andrew Duck Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:11:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Andrew http://andrewduck.name/2009/02/newspaper-death-spiral-continues/comment-page-1/#comment-912 Andrew Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:59:29 +0000 http://andrewduck.name/?p=344#comment-912 No I don't think that newspaper will disappear, not through any conscious effort to replace it. I along with a lot of other people still prefer to read hard copy printed materials over screen editions, but the digital copy does have a number of benefits that can't be achieved in print. Twitter is a great example of delivering news instantly as it happens - something that can never be possible with print. If print newspapers were to stop printing I think it would only be due to economic reasons - if it ends up non profitable then businesses need to consider whether it is wise to continue down that path.
