Detroit Free Press, Detroit News will deliver to homes only three days a week
Papers will still be available on newsstands; online offerings expanded
Free Press' daily circulation dipped almost 7 percent this year
Ink, paper, fuel costs mean cuts in reporting under current model, publisher says...http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/16/detroit.newspapers/index.html
Everyone saw this coming, but what are the long term implications of having little to no newspapers in circulation. How will the news be viewed? Will the news be considered as 'Trust worthy' as it now is? What will this mean for the telephone book, magazines, etc. It will be interesting to see...Consider this, at marvel.com and they are offering subscribers the opportunity to read "digital comics" online! (Will they gain in value like the comic books of old?" Ultimately I wonder if this means the elimination of the 'book?'

I don't think the elimination of the book will take place (anytime soon) because there are lot of people who still like to actually hold one in their hands. Amazon's Kindle made a huge differance with books though!
I also read that there were 356 magazines that were started this year!!
True, but I think people like holding the news paper too! Nevertheless, what diffrence did Amazon's kindle make?
From what i know Kindle has been selling really well it is a platform where you can read books, magazines, newspapers, blogs etc. with one device. Its like the "ipod" for reading! haha
I am looking into it now..... dad said he might get it!!
