‘Our real business isn’t printing on dead trees’

I am all about the Web and publishing news online when we have it. But I am a believer in the value of newspapers and would be one of the last people to say they are dead or dying.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch weighs in on the discussion.
“I like the look and feel of newsprint as much as anyone,” he said. “But our real business isn’t printing on dead trees. It’s giving our readers great journalism and great judgment.”
Well put. We have to get you the news on the platform you want it. If you want it on “dead trees,” so be it. If you want it on your mobile device, so be it. We have to get you what you want how you want it when you want it.
Enough said.

Ok, but trying to read the RRStar on a mobile device is maddening at best.

We continue to look at ways we can improve how we deliver news electronically. Hang in there.
