  1. I think the key phrase in those presentations comes about halfway through the Wired video.
    “For the first time people may value this experience so much that they pay for it.”

    Here’s hoping, because the cost of producing daily print plus multimedia is going to be twice the cost of print, and then some.

    I’ve been tossing round some ideas for a new kind of newspaper on my blog, you’ve given me some food for thought for the net article.

  2. Good article.

    I’m of the view that print media will never die. I’m pretty sure it goes against etiquette to bring expensive technological items to the toilet, and all that.

    Print advantages:

    - No-one is going to mug you for your newspaper/magazine
    - A newspaper doesn’t run out of battery, or require an ‘on’ button
    - You still have to pay for content/quality no matter what
    - I don’t think I’ll be sourcing my iPad when repainting the walls (using it for floor cover)
    - Newspapers/magazines are light-weight. I don’t want to have to heave around a machine just in-case I might feel a bit info-hungry
    - I certainly wouldn’t want my dog to bring me my iPad in its slobbery mouth

    Viva lá Newspaper!
