Has news lost value?
I don't pay the inflated price for the equally inflated egos of the NYTimes. But that doesn't mean that news has lost all value to me.
The news business is changing its delivery behind the technological advances that make it possible. So-called cross platform content will mean that newspapers find themselves in competition with television. Fundamental changes are occurring that will require the business model to change or these outlets will vanish completely. As it is now, a lot of what we consider to be the distinguishing marks will surely disappear.
I believe the current pricing uncertainty is an outgrowth of intense competition in a new market arena. ¶ 11/15/2005 05:37:00 PM
