People are willing to pay for indepth reporting - this type of content can be sustained by subscriptions. People are not willing to pay for newsbites or breaking news, since this type of content is widely available for free - this kind of content can be sustained by advertising. But can these two models combined match the pre-internet revenues newspapers are used to? Probably not because of the cost models of pre-internet news gathering and also because of the choices advertisers now have.
- jedc 17y agoThe problem with the industry is that the world is shifting to new (lower) revenue models but most newspapers/publishers are still living with old (HUGE) cost models. I'm still waiting for the first big media company to make a truly radical shift in their cost structure... only then can they survive. (IMHO)
