How can we know whom to trust when we know first hand that ANYONE can start a blog?<BR/><BR/>Valvalereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233207434448612511.post-46899351470041375132009-03-23T22:53:00.000-04:002009-03-23T22:53:00.000-04:00I'm kind of sad to see the magazine go.

The reality is with so much of everything online print just seems like an additional unnecessary expense. <BR/><BR/>I'm a bit more optimistic, because I think so much of it is contextual. We are in a serious recession so some business are naturally going to fail. <BR/><BR/>As for newspapers, this is survival of fittest, extreme style. The newspapers that are best able to adapt to the new environment, restructure their operation's model, will come out at the top. And those that do not will fall to the way aside. Eventually new companies will spring up that fill their place. <BR/><BR/>It's the 'natural' order of things. <BR/><BR/>I think it is giving the Internet too much credit, to suggest that it will be the nail in the coffin, after all radio is still around.J.
