The News Landscape in 2014: Transformed or Diminished? Formulating a Game Plan for Survival
Is there a potential path for renewal for traditional news organizations struggling to survive and thrive in the digital age? “The News Landscape in 2014: Transformed or Diminished? Formulating a Game Plan for Survival in the Digital Age,” co-authored by Penelope Muse Abernathy, UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication Knight Chair in Digital Media Economics and Journalism, and Richard Foster, Senior Faculty Fellow with Yale University’s School of Management, analyzes the situation from the perspectives of shareholder, journalist and economist.

I think it is unnecessary for traditional news organization to worry about that thet will face great risk of dimishing, if they take more efforts to trasform,it will be doomed to have a promising future even in the digital age.

I feel that the journalism landscape has transformed not diminished. I love both old and new media. I still read the paper version of the Wall street Journal every day on the train, but I also get news from the net, on so called ‘web 2.0’ sites like Digg and Reddit. I feel that old media has to adapt to the changing landscape. The ones that can’t adapt will be ‘diminished’, the ones that do will prosper.

I like one of the paragraph describing the reason of study by Abernathy and decided to share:
“Continuing on the current path, traditional news organizations are at great risk of meeting either a Hindu-style death of transformation, as they are acquired and merged with other corporations, or a Judeo-Christian demise, as they are shuttered and disappear entirely from the landscape,”
In this study new ways have been identified for building new online revenue steams, I think media and traditional news agencies can survive by following these steps. Thanks

ohhh man. I am sick of people putting things on hold until 2012 has come and passed lol. production and products should be much cheaper do to technology such as the ipad. Digital subscriptions are they way everything is heading. The ones who start moving in this direction now are the ones who will still be in business come 2014.

I agree with the first post, this type of news is still needed even in the future.. both medium have different ways of delivering information thus makes it important.

I agree with rapid and jazonwen131. The problem I see is that it is becoming newspapers used to generate tons of advertising revenue from advertisers and paper sales. With online delivery now, more and more people don’t want to pay for their news and businesses have a hard time justifying the cost of advertising online.

Should tranformed it is part of the evolution, newspaper must evolved as we people do.

Newspaper have got one big problem: they are slower than internet information sites.

Their fundamental mistake was offering free content at the outset, hard one to change now.
By Suzies, 05/21/10 at 5:12 am
They must branch out and offer online subscriptions as well as plenty of free news also. Use subscription based for added coverage, perks ect..

Written media can not die ever. There might be tough competition but still people prefer to have offline media in spite of having access to online channels.. i dont see it as a threat
By denmonty, 05/28/10 at 1:01 am

@seoresearcher Agree with you !
By Klip Boy, 05/31/10 at 12:06 am
i think the news organization will transform as time goes by, Its a matter of adapting to change.

I am sure that all not all news will become digital, at least in near decades. It is simple to understand this. Just think about how many people do not have, cannot use, can not afford - computer, internet connection, smart phone? - They all will read hard paper news!

Hmm… it’s a good question. Good post.

What is also obvious is that all entertaining media - like theatre, life shows, even cinema will not go pure digital! Just because you are not getting that drive when you sit by your screen!
