Go, Read: Strupp on Newspaper Trends

Joe Strupp's top ten stories for the newspaper industry in 2006 is worth a read in the same manner that book publishing trends articles are now semi-required reading -- a multi-million dollar portion of the comics industry makes its home in newspapers, and will feel the impact of most changes that happen there.

You'll find a few stories that pretty easily apply, including the reminder that many papers have lost stock listings and television schedules recently in the face of on-line and on-screen competition. I hadn't thought about it before until seeing it in Strupp's column with a number on it, but if you had told me ten years ago that one day soon papers would dump the stocks and TV pages I'd have much the same reaction as if you told me that newspaper might dump comics ten years from now. The moral? You never know, particularly when an industry is in massive flux.
