We still need the latest news to be told in compelling ways. The delivery mechanisms may be different (online, mobile, kindle, ipod etc) or the formats may be different (video etc). It is also not necessary that news is provided free of charge. I can see people paying for convinience in accessing news over their device of their choice. So I hope the skills needed in the old news world are valued and compensated even more in the new world. I just don't think it makes sense for news to be deliverd in paper form anymore.

Riski Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:13:30 +0000 http://www.rajajasti.com/?p=688#comment-40 Mr. Jasti, I respect the tone, the optimism and confidence that dozens of print-based giants will rise in digital ether. Still, the wealth of training and generational memory contained in the newsrooms cited is deep. Watchdog journalism is born of elder scribes, photogs, investigative reporters and their ilk who've passed through hundreds of govt. meetings and board reports to help readers navigate the world. Abroad, their brethren risk life and limb to pursue stories of violent political upheaval, wars and struggles against disease and malnutrition. In the upheaval we witness, where will their expertise be valued and paid for if not by a news outlet whose product is worth coin? Who's distributing the complimentary Kindles for avid readers of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's yet-to-be launched online version? When the "dust settles," it may be too late for some of this generational newsroom wisdom. We all need this torch of talent, training and wisdom to be passed. Democracy and the other Three Estates depend on it. Mr. Jasti, I respect the tone, the optimism and confidence that dozens of print-based giants will rise in digital ether.
