Dial 200999 for a media emergency

Perceptive analysis on the future for print and online in 2009 from Patrick Smith at Paid Content.

Let's face it, in 2009:

• Print will shrink
• Titles will close, merge or turn to online-only publication
  
• Online-only will not prove viable for most titles
  
• Subbing, some reporting and advertising will be outsourced, maybe off-shore
• Online, which has already overtaken print as a news source, will close on TV
• The rise of individual journalists as brands will continue, and that might just be good news
