Report Inappropriate Comments

I am not surprised that a newspaper publishing group would see the economic value in returning to print, but I am pleasantly surprised that the group's leadership would admit to it. The simple fact is that there is a business model for online media and a business model for print media, with neither supplanting the other. Commenting as someone who has an MBA in Finance, MS in Accounting and decades of experience in the financial operations of the press, I can say with certainty that the only reason print newspapers are failing is because print newspaper publishers have lost confidence in them...but, as the saying goes, "You can't teach a cat to sing." So, although a few, like Johnson, will see the light, newspapers will continue to close and media pundits will continue to blame the internet.
