How about content like George Will complaining that you shouldn’t wear denim jeans because Fred Astaire wouldn’t wear denim jeans?

Do people really want to pay for that? It’s one example, but it’s indicative.

People power, as in the consumers of music, news or whatever, usually have their way in the end.

If barriers are put up, somebody will find a way through.

Media consumer choice is what’s killing newspapers, like its killing commercial TV. Watch what you want, when and where you want.

The same is slowly happening for news. The message is clear: adapt or die.

I am absolutley convinced that newspapers are killing newspapers.

Touched on it here: http://bit.ly/jG09F but, essentially newspapers have had it their way too long. They have done the bidding of their owners rather than reflecting their readers and the people who write them are cut off from reality.

As soon as competition came along people gleefully gave up papers – let’s face it, maybe the question is not – can newspapers be saved? but, instead: Does anyone care enough to save them?
