Charging for content online in order to "protect print," especially daily newspapers, clearly would be trying to preserve a product approaching the end of its long life cycle at the expense of the online potential. Publishers can do that if they simply see no way to build a real digital business. But they have much to gain in focusing on an online future while, as I said, milking the print side for whatever profits it may deliver in the short run.

It could only help in the short-term with revenue in a managed decline. Am I missing something? If you think the newspaper business has no viable future, then erecting a pay wall makes sense. You can increase the "harvest" until the ground is barren.

O número é muito ruim, mas já era aguardado. Embora a economia americana emita sinais de que o pior da crise já passou, o drama para a indústria de jornais parace estar longe do fim, segundo analistas. Além da crise, o jornais enfrentam uma mudança estrutural na forma como os americanos consomem mídia. No quadro ao lado , a participação da receita dos jornais no bolo da publicidade está marcada com seta azul.  A seta verde indica a participação  das mídias digitais e a seta vermelha mostra a do rádio, que pela primeira vez superou a dos jornais.
