Contrary to popular belief, newspapers aren’t dead… yet. In fact, if newspaper companies pull the right moves now, they may well survive for a while yet. The biggest issue for newspaper companies is revenue, not audience. With the declining revenue in print media advertising, the only way for newspaper companies to avoid extinction is to embrace digital media content. While many companies have already gone digital, it is fair to say that newspaper companies haven’t quite grasped the concept of publishing engaging content in their online version of the newspaper.
