They are almost dead. I still like them because they are slightly more handy to read when you're drinking coffee in a cafe, but even that won't last for long. And the news are always out of date when I read them. Of course they are dying. They are almost dead.

It is just yesterday I was reading about quite well known Scottish Newspaper struggling to make any profit. It not really surprising as we all now expect that news will be delivered to us almost immediately to our computer screen or mobile. Newspapers have to realise if they can adopt quickly, they will soon will be out of business. Newspapers circulation has been falling for a while around the world.

I guess the key reason for why most of us now don't read newspaper is because of the availability of other resources, and guess what they are more updated and cost effective also. Here you cant generally blame newspaper editors or owners for this. With the cost of everything on the rise its is almost impossible to make newspaper cheaper. More importantly by its very nature you cant expect real time updates of news, which thanks to internet and other e-media we now have access to.

On occasion I write about an article in the paper that I might typically miss, b/c I would never willfully follow some of the writers that show up in our papers locally.But today one of the better know writers, one who I agree with 90% of the time actually called me because he found a few of my blog postings. After a 20 min conversation and thanking him for his time (why did I thank him, he called me?) but anyway I left the conversation worrying about what I said and maybe shouldn't have said........ but then I remembered, I don't always play it safe in my blog either. So I still consider it a win-win.Much of my time in the paper now involves the opinion side. I still get most of my news elsewhere. But local newspapers still have there niche. Even if it is a small niche. While I admit I still get the paper, today it may have paid off.

We have other resources, like the news on TV. The best place for a real estate person to write is on the net. It’s not really common to read the newspaper.
