But it's really about the content, and if the method of delivering that great content is shifting from ink to pixels, the people who market and sell ads for newspapers need to educate their customers (advertisers and agencies). I think the newspaper publishers trade groups also need to mount an aggressive p.r./marketing campaign targeted at the ad community, to tell them the positive story of newspapers' growth, to counter the negative "newspapers are dying" hype we keep hearing and reading. <BR/><BR/>I think (and hope) newspapers on newsprint will be around for quite a while so we can relax with them at Starbucks, on the commuter train or at home on a leisurely Sunday morning.

Ea...Thanks Robyn - I wholeheartedly agree with you. Each has its place. Reading is a good habit that some grab early and some - like me - later :) I firmly believe the seed was planted by watching adults when I was a kid - they read...hey that's pretty cool! Then you go through that stage where anything an adult does must be boring.<BR/><BR/>What I notice at the coffee shop is the frequency of people and laptops (notebooks?) :). First I wonder how the heck does that work? Are they reading the news? Are they blogging? Are they playing games? Schoolwork? Engaging in a community? There is a certain degree of cool in the wireless world.<BR/><BR/>When someone is rattling a paper you know their brains are engaging in current events - even if its the funny pages :)Bob Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487941305976922088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625144.post-4523284402977042742007-03-07T06:00:00.000-08:002007-03-07T06:00:00.000-08:00You just can't beat sitting down at Starbucks with...You just can't beat sitting down at Starbucks with a real paper and a cup of great coffee. There's a place for each in my mind.<BR/><BR/>I love books. I can write in the margins and underline things I might enjoy coming back to consider. <BR/><BR/>Print isn't dead by any means. Each one has a place!Robyn McMaster, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893633050214440599noreply@blogger.com
