I like Maggie's response to the newspaper lecture. It's very relevant and makes very good points. How long will the newspaper last?
I predict that smaller newspaper organizations will go out of business. It's just a matter of time. But, I think that the newspaper will always be around. National newspapers like the New York Times will probably stay in business but smaller publications like the Courier Journal will be discontinued soon. Although technology has evolved and really hurt the newspaper business, it can't hurt the traditions of our older generations. Technology can't hurt the people who want to touch what they read. Newspapers offer us photos and articles that could be someone's memento. Or, the physical quality of newspapers could be someone's keepsake to remember an old friend. I know that some people like to cut out obituaries of the people they know.
Maggie wrote a very compelling and verified response to predicting the future for newspapers but, I believe major papers will stay.
