Another sad day for print media. USAToday, for many a year the nation’s most widely circulated weekday daily, is
cutting 9% of its headcount as the company shifts to focus on digital.
And its not just newspapers that are dying. Even the venerated Oxford English Dictionary might
finally call it a day for its print edition as digital subscribers are outnumbering those who actually buy the 20-volume, 750-pound set.
Even TV and cable companies are moving to get their content online. A
recent scuffle between Walt Disney and Time Warner Cable over the high stakes of online video programming and broadcasting.
But if its one thing that digital media and technologies show is how fast things change. The iPod, once king of the music player hill, is
dropping in sales as people are snapping up iPhones and iPads instead.
