The Washington Post Print Paper ‘Probably’ Dead in 10 Years.
Well, it seems that Tom Brokaw wants to join the “wrong predictions club.”
Welcome to the club of Ted Turner, Bill Gates and other famous predictors who have said “in five, ten years … you will be dead.”
Dead?
Really?
Perhaps we will see the end of the evening TV news programs before print newspaper die.
So, what we need, Mr. Brokaw, is not silly announcements about our coming death, but serious help and suggestions about how to make the transition from print to digital.
And how to migrate toward quality digital journalism.
Our business is not, and never has been, to print paper, but to find, edit, present and deliver the news.
But what will never die is the demand for quality news.
On print.
On air.
Online.
All the time.
Everywhere.
Newspaper companies know best.
Our future is multimedia.
The ones that will die (for sure) are the mono-media print companies.
