"'Printed Blog,' Curiosity that Piqued Newspaper Industry Interest, Folds" - Editor & Publisher

One of the eternal challenges of newspapers is deciding what to print and what not to print. That is the essence of the newspaper process. With the arrival of electronic technologies, other means of "printing" emerged and now the opportunities are virtually limitless. That said, in managing a newspaper today, there is still the very tough "call" on what to include.

The failure of this new print venture does not mean that printing what we find on line is not of value to those who want to see content delivered to them on paper. The experience of the Printed Blog is, however, one of those experiences that any newspaper manager during today's crisis ought to be noting. Is the idea of the Printed Blog a viable opportunity for newspapers or is yet another approach to today's challenges that newspapers choose not to pursue, rightly or wrongly?
