The recent report that popped up in several places from Matthew Fordahl of the Associated Press identifying the “online space” as the most prospective area of revenue for newspapers did not at all surprise me. I have believed these findings months and months ago prior to seeing this report and I am pleased to see some validation of my prior thoughts and beliefs. So the big question is how will large media companies respond to these reports?
I truly feel that the future is bright in the “online space” and large media companies have the muscle and brand to seize online real estate but we will see if innovate thinking is allowed to sculpt an existing newspaper business model to accommodate the popularity of the “online space”.
