Re:Newspapers Lose $10 Dollars in Print for Every $1 Gained ... by gamble on Monday March 19, 2012 @03:58PM (#3725880)
As they should. Print newspapers made their money by exploiting the high barrier to entry in the publishing industry to create local advertising monopolies. They compete in a much larger market for online advertising, and very few local papers have anything to distinguish themselves from other local or national papers. There will probably need to be a wave of bankruptcies and consolidation around a handful of national papers before print journalism stabilizes.
