Commenting On Comments
"The Morton Plan would have kicked in on July 4 but newspapers across the country couldn't get it together by then. Why do newspapers drag their feet? They have seen the future and still they hesitate. "
I agree with as newspapers need to realise that they will not survive by not doing anything and take action straight away.
"I will never pay for news again. Most news is not truly news - it is sensationalism, hype and deception. Most news is not balanced - every editor is biased. And it is not just that - I truly can not afford to pay for news."
Newspapers need to ensure they are not charging more than they should for their content.
"The proof is that while online aggregation and free newspaper Web sites have combined to batter paid print circulation figures, more people are reading the product of America’s newspapers than ever before."
I can infer that this person feels that there is still demand for physical newspapers.
I believe that for journalists they all need to use a pay wall online because only some are getting paid but the firms should find a way to get them all paid.
