Video: Final month of the Rocky Mountain News -- a radio parallel?

K

I think you can easily draw parallels between the two mediums. The video captures the thoughts of employees at the paper and might be worth watching. It might spark thoughts about where a number of media and communications industries failed in similar ways and are now paying the price through contraction, exacerbated, of course, by the recession.

I like newspapers. They serve a vital function. The person who says he gets his news online from Google or Yahoo, or from radio or television, doesn't understand what newspapers provide. But the business model became a victim of technology before owners and operators could realize what had happened. Now they're playing catch up. You could say the same thing about the record industry and the broadcast industry.
 
News papers provide more local content. True jouranalist, are the watchtowers & guards who keep government honest.

FM Radio has become cheap to produce mobile jukeboxes, playing a strangers playlist with commercials.
AM radio repeats the conservative agenda.. With limited local content.
