Editors: Impromptu Eulogies for Print

Editor and Publisher discusses a rather alarming article that ran over the weekend where leading newspapers editors polled on the matter basically say "Yep, print sure is going to be dead, soon." Those spoken to seem to believe the morning paper is going to be squeezed out by a combination of cultural factors and a rise in one model that's more convenient (on-line news) and another model that's more cost-effective (free supplementary papers). I think the key here isn't that print was ever going to make a huge comeback but that attitudes have changed so quickly that conversions to other models, rather then extended raging at the dying of the light, seem to be a much more likely course in the next decade.

Any acceleration in the adoption of new models would, of course, have a huge impact on strip cartoons, and thus puts in new light efforts by cartoonists and syndicates to create new avenues for consumption on-line.
