net to newspapers: "drop dead" !!

Yes .... Is it any wonder, why I am excited !!!

"Newspapers are cockroaches. No matter what is introduced into the media ecosystem, the oldest of the Big Media survives. Despite decades of doomsayers, newspapers prospered through radio, through TV and cable, through video games, through the Internet....

Not so fast. Suddenly, even sober Wall Street analysts think something new is afoot".

< No medium disappears quickly, and it will be a while before rusting newspaper boxes creak vacantly in the breeze. Newspaper companies now pursue digital deals. Recently, Gannett (GCI ) acquired online ad tech provider PointRoll, and E.W. Scripps (SSP ) snagged comparison shopping service Shopzilla. Diversifying means snapping up Web outfits -- and therein lies an unpleasant reminder. Newspapers are cockroaches. But the Net's starting to resemble Black Flag. >
