Bricks & Clicks
The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the “bricks” in the News Tower. We’re a multimedia news and information company: the “clicks” on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

Will we survive without newspapers?

David Shedden at Poynter has a blog called Transformation Tracker. He uses it to track changes in how news is financed. There’s a lot of information out there. This post, his latest, talks about how we will — or won’t — survive without newspapers.

I don’t know exactly what the newspaper industry will look like in 10 years. I am willing to bet there won’t be many daily printed papers. I’ve heard talk about dailies going to twice weekly or weekly print products that break down and analyze the news of the week. I’ve even heard my boss talk about one day being able to get the day’s news on a 25-cent disposable hologram. Time will tell.
