The question you posed--Can we hold a healthy balance between printed news and electronic news?--is, I would argue, the major question facing the news industry today. There are many people in America who get their news from newspapers as well as Internet; usually the paper earlier in the day and the Internet later in the day for updates. However, on the flip side, there are people who soley get their news from the Internet. The latter is the problem facing the industry. Newspapers can deal with sharing--consumers picking up the paper, as well as getting some news from the Internet on a single day. But, quite obviously, it's hard to deal with people not picking up the paper at all. Some European countries like Britain, notably its capital of London, are not seeing the problem we are here in America. Their print dailies are stronger than ever. It seems that they've struck that balance you mentioned (for now, at least.) The question you posed was a good one. Time will only tell, I suppose. But I still like getting my fingers dirty with news-print from my New York Post and New York Sun. As usual, a great piece.
