As I mentioned earlier this month, I’ve ended my online-only experiment and my print publications are now filling my mailbox again. I drew the line at newspapers, however. I read the WSJ online and get the NYT delivered only on Sundays. None of those are a replacement for RSS feeds and online-only news sources (news.com and IDG News in particular). It’s just that magazines feel better in my hands.
The tech PR industry talks a lot about print vs. online and what outlets reach which readers. People smarter than me are figuring out that reach, but this morning I was happy to see that Doc Searls still reads the newspaper. If Doc reads the newspaper in print, then the medium has a long life ahead of it. His post was prompted by Andy Kessler’s op-ed in the WSJ today discussing A Future for Newspapers (also on andykessler.com if you don’t have a WSJ subscription).
Both are worth reading.
