Future Full of Newspaper? - Not if Google Can Help it.

It amuses me that many newspaper giants are in trouble after they kinda overlooked the Internet as a news delivery tool of today and tomorrow. Many newspapers still think the 'paper' is the important bit of newspaper. While the Internet undoes the old and brings in the new here's an exception: The Printed Blog.

"The Printed Blog is an independent media outlet that aggregates user-generated content from the Internet and publishes twice daily via print. The result is a revolutionary newspaper that reads and functions like a web feed – yet can still be enjoyed on the train or spread across the breakfast table.

The selection of content in The Printed Blog is based solely on the votes of readers and their geographic location. In such a way, The Printed Blog revolts against the top-down, ‘one size fits all’ model of newsprint, as we know it. Instead of one paper serving hundreds of thousands of people, as is often the case, THE PRINTED BLOG publishes many localized editions based on what a community declares is important to them."

Maybe this will slow the Decline of printed news see here for what Google does to newspaper mills.
