For more than thirty years the newspaper industry has been
losing readers at a slow but steady rate. News professionals
are inclined to blame themselves, but the real culprit is
technology and its competing demands on the public's time.
The Internet is just the latest in a long series of new
information technologies that have scattered the mass
audience that newspapers once held. By isolating and
describing the factors that made journalism work as a
business in the past, Meyer provides a model that will make
it work with the changing technologies of the present and
future. He backs his argument with empirical evidence,
supporting key points with statistical assessments of the
quality and influence of the journalist's product, as well
as its effects on business success.
