Slashdot | A Recipe for Newspaper Survival in the Internet Age

Slashdot | A Recipe for Newspaper Survival in the Internet Age This article sums up not only what I feel the newspaper industry is struggling with but also what pollutes the publishing and media industries in general.

Here's the best quote....

Instead of treating their Web sites like unwelcome stepchildren, newspapers* should turn them into their primary method of news delivery* -- and teach their reporters, editors, and ad sales people how to work effectively with this new -- to them -- medium.

Just substitute "publishers" and "content delivery" for an even better quote.
