If newspapers thought that everyone would leave local stuff alone, ESPN’s launch of ESPN Chicago should be a worrying reminder that nothing is going to be easy in the new media landscape. Newspapers either get quicker, bolder and more aggressive ... or they die quietly and alone. A strategy would help…

The death of a large number of newspapers will not mean the death of print. The survivors will exist at a scale that adds new impetus to print products, and their costs will decrease as audiences remain flat. The smaller local titles can remain economically viable for many years on the back of conservative advertisers and a cost base that can fund a niche local news operation for some years.

It’s a good question because so much time is often spent trying to organize and create the top navigation of a site. That time could be better used working on writing better headlines and blurbs that get browsers to click. Would more people click on the LOCAL NEWS link or a headline like YOUR NEIGHBOR’S A TERRORIST. NOW WHAT DO YOU DO? My guess, not backed up by any research, is the latter.

Georg Holzer - And there’s one more thing: The tablet levels the playingfield. Now everyone (including me) could do a daily “newspaper” - specialized in one topic.
Think this through as a chance for all the good journalists fired in the newspaper-downturn. An excellent writer in the field of foreign politics could do his/her own daily newspaper on foreign policy. Same for sport, same for technology (my case). Think of 20c each day, think of a newspaper compiled by your favourite writers.
