Down for the count ? The future of the daily press



- Bibliographic reference : REAVIS Dick J. - Down for the count? The future of the daily press - Counter Punch Magazine - November 19,20 2005.

- Extract :
"For the past two years academic observers of the press and a few of its working members have been diagnosing the continuing decline in circulation numbers for American daily newspapers, and it's fair to say that they've recently come to a consensus: most newspapers, especially metro, or monopoly dailies, are moribund.

Figures describing the percentage of homes that subscribe to newspapers have shown declines-of about three-quarters of a percent annually-for forty years. In The Vanishing Newspaper, a 2004 book, University of North Carolina journalism professor Philip Meyer puts a date on the looming demise of the daily press. The industry, he says, will be "running out of daily readers late in the first quarter of 2043...".

                           Internet now dominant news medium, Others dying fast

 - Bibliographic reference : BLODGET Henry - Internet now dominant news medium, Others dying fast - Silicon Alley Insider - March 1, 2008.

- Extract :

"We still occasionally encounter people who argue that physical newspapers and TV news shows have a vital roll to play in the dissemination of news. These folks usually work for physical newspapers and TV networks, of course. And, as you might expect, that 10% newspaper figure is bolstered by the senior crowd, 17% of whom are still committed to the absurdly resource-intensive practice of consuming news on pulped, printed, and delivered dead trees. (Thankly, only 7% of the 18-29 crowd follows this example.)..."

            The written press in Great Britain and the Internet as its real alternative.


- Bibliographic reference :  PIRNUTA Oana-Andreea - The written press in Great Britain and the Internet as its real alternative - University Transilvania of Brasov - 2007

- Extract : 
     "Newspapers, along with the other media forms, play a very important role in daily life in Britain, as they educate, question and challenge. It is highly important to know the diversity of the written press in Great Britain, its rights, duties as well as its connection to modern technology. General press involves any newspaper which does not aim at a specialized audience. 
     The audience is primarily defined by the circulation area, class, intellect, political persuasion and degree of affluence. Some general press characteristics can be attributed to some periodicals, such as Living, because their readership includes a variety of occupations and interests. Moreover, some include features on personal finance, travel, fashion, health, beauty and home interests..."

Gutenberg and the digital revolution : Will printed books disappear?

- Bibliographic reference :
SOON-YONG, Choi; DALE O. Stahl; WHINSTON Andrew B. - Gutenberg and the digital revolution : will printed books disappear? - ARRAY DEVELOPMENT.

- Extract : 
"In 1450, technologies developed over the previous thousand years were combined to produce a revolutionary new process of printing. Integrating paper invented by Chinese, movable type first experimented by Koreans, and oil-based ink developed by Italian painters, Gutenberg's printing press supplanted laborious hand copying with mass production. A similar revolutionary change is in the works: the digital revolution. Computer-aided desktop publishing and digitization processes have finally replaced paper and printing press with computers and the Internet as the modus operandi for information exchange. However, neither the printing press nor any computer technology by itself causes revolutionary changes. But the process enabled by new technologies will change the way we use information and make printed books obsolete..."
