Paradigm Shift for Newspapers – Eliminating Print and Rebalancing Online

Two articles focused on significant changes impacting newspapers and professional journalists:

  • Clay Shirky – Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable: “Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism. For a century, the imperatives to strengthen journalism and to strengthen newspapers have been so tightly wound as to be indistinguishable. That’s been a fine accident to have, but when that accident stops, as it is stopping before our eyes, we’re going to need lots of other ways to strengthen journalism instead.”
  • The Washington Post Modifies Its Print Editions Newspaper Drops to Four Sections; Finance News Will Now Appear Inside A Section: “This is the latest belt-tightening move by The Post, which, like most newspapers across the country, has been shrinking its print edition and downsizing its staff. Earlier, The Post eliminated the Sunday Source, dropped Book World as a separate section and combined the Sunday Arts and Style sections into one.”
