Future of newspapers

If you’re worried about the future of newspapers (we publishers certainly are!), you can take heart from Paul Farhi’s hopeful essay in the June-July issue of AJR. Farhi, whose day job is as a reporter for The Washington Post, writes: “Considering the hurricane of change that is buffeting all segments of the news media these days, I’d argue that no part of the business is as firmly anchored as the average daily newspaper. Rather than accepting their own mortality, newspapers may have the best chance of any of the old media to survive in a new-media world.”
