Chicago -- A lot of discussion this week has centered around the future of newspapers, and what that future will look like. Talk of the newspaper's death has been circulating for some time now.
However, recent struggles in the industry have left people wondering whether that future is now. The major players, companies such as Tribune Co. and Gannet and others, have seen huge decreases in revenue -- in some cases in the 30 percent range. Some media reports indicate 3,500 people at newspapers across the United States have lost their jobs -- just this summer alone.
A Web site is even dedicated to the death of newspapers, well at least covering it.
The buzzards are circling -- or are they?
One of the lecturers this week reported that the industry probably will continue a decline for a few more years. By 2017, newsrooms will be 50-70 percent of what they are today. But then he sees a long period of stability.
Still sounds grim, right? You can look at that way....
