Another One Bites the Dust Posted: 29 Oct 2012 06:54 AM PDT As some of you might remember, I have a wager going on with my father. Back in 2008 I said that within 10 years (so by 2018) the New York Times would only have a digital version of its newspaper. My father said that it would take longer for print to be replaced by major publications. To be honest, as we get closer to the date I am having doubts I’ll win. But there are some events helping my spirit. For instance, earlier this year the Encyclopedia Britannica announced that it would half its print edition in favor of a digital one. Last week the same thing happened with Newsweek. After 79 years in print the famous magazine, starting 2013, will only be available in a digital format. Here’s a quote from a Reuters article: The decision to go all-digital underscores the problems faced by newsweeklies, as more consumers favor tablets and mobile devices over print in an increasingly commoditized, 24-hour news cycle. The final print edition of the weekly current affairs magazine will hit newsstands on December 31. The move was not unexpected given both the macro changes affecting the magazine industry and, more specifically, the comments made in July by Newsweek’s owner Barry Diller, head of IAC/Interactive Corp, about the expense of producing a print magazine. Do you think that by 2018 the New York Times will still have a print edition? Original Post: Another One Bites the Dust
