Globe journalist: all newspapers digital in 25 years

Robert Kuttner, columnist for the Boston Globe, predicts that newspapers will all be digital within 25 years. He writes: "Though only barely and just in time, newspapers have started down a financially and journalistically viable path of becoming hybrids, without losing the professional culture that makes them uniquely valuable." Kuttner lists a series of advantages - for news variety, quick access and convenience - that online media have over newspapers. If papers do their jobs, he concludes, the next generation will still read them - on the net. (Via Columbia Journalism Review)
