So did the North Jersey Bergen Record. In both cases, the editorial content spilled out across the paper to the detriment of what a paper needs most - credibility. The news gathering organizations like AP and Reuters went the same way. So...essentially there was no difference between the newspapers and the blogs - both are opinionated, based on slanting of facts etc. But one is free and one is not. Would staying reasonably centrist have saved the Times and the Record. Maybe not, but it would have slowed the demise of both - I know many many formers readers who swear they would never buy either paper, and actively wish for the demise of both. So you have large numbers of people who not only won't buy newspapers but who wish them to die - and its the papers own fault for choosing in just about every instance to be pro-Democrat America hating rags. Town hall magazine and the City Journal - two conservative magazine startups are doing fine. Time and Newsweek are teetering. What does that tell you? Good riddance to newspapers, and viva the new media! The traditional networks are next! My paper, the NY Times, when from a lightly liberal paper to a crusading paper for the left.

They probably thought it wouldn't 'go so fast' and 'run that deep'. I truely believe that if ALL newspapers die (which I doubt greatly: if the majority dies a market will open up for a few highly-specialised smaller newspapers/magazines that will fill up the small vacuum that is left behind -like the friends or similar opinionated people Eldert is talking about-), investigative journalism will continue to exist. Financed from a different source; maybe financed from these smaller magazines, but quiet possibly financed from a new business model. “If classified advertising was such a huge cash cow, why didn’t anyone buy eBay?” – I love this remark, because I think that it shows clearly how ignorant and arrogant the business part of publishers were when they had the chance to jump the curve.

Which I by the way basically agree on. The survival of the fittest is historically about the adaption of change or even changing yourself because of not changing ‘evil’ circumstances. But the world and especially the business world, has changed a lot. Growth or even survival can only be realised if there is an internalised drive to cooperate in a daily changing distribution network. This new distribution is realised by the Internet but also by new partners like train companies that distribute free newspapers. The conservative media is locked in both issues. Cooperation is not internalised because of the ever-lasting Berlin wall between editorial content and business. Besides that, distribution models are not seen as dynamic but as fixed processes that need to be managed instead of innovated in cooperation with technology and partners. It should be about offering your content towards people who need, want or like to receive it now. But it is still in the case of the newspapers about bringing everything produced towards people who would like to receive something but perhaps not now. Distribution and partnering is key. There is a huge market for newspaper editorial content. Nowadays we are (sometimes desperately) looking for friends, people who think the same way as we do, quality content and opinions. A new and wanted platform that newspaper companies can provide us. I think we should try to help. It is not about arrogance or unwillingness. Those companies didn’t learn how to change. We can help to evolve and in this way create our own existence too. Eldert van Wijngaarden Kalooga Boris,

I would like to add something to your newspaper evolution theory. Which I by the way basically agree on. The survival of the fittest is historically about the adaption of change or even changing yourself because of not changing ‘evil’ circumstances.

But the world and especially the business world, has changed a lot. Growth or even survival can only be realised if there is an internalised drive to cooperate in a daily changing distribution network. This new distribution is realised by the Internet but also by new partners like train companies that distribute free newspapers.

The conservative media is locked in both issues. Cooperation is not internalised because of the ever-lasting Berlin wall between editorial content and business.
