AFR.com article : German newspaper owners opt to stop the press Author: Gerrit Wiesmann and Jan Ciensk
Agree with quote from Claudio Aspesi, analyst at Bernstein Research in London, the gloomy truth is the industry will see more casualties:
“There are probably only a handful of print titles that will be able to develop sustainable business models – these will probably be the big, international brands. The others will have to find themselves an oligarch, or find shelter as part of a bigger organisation.”
IMHO the AFR.com concentrating on our finances is about as close to a shelter as we can find.
