Solve your newspaper delivery problems with PressDisplay

“Nowhere else is the demise of daily delivery of newspaper more dramatic than in Michigan, U.S.A. where more than two-thirds of households will be unable to get seven-day service soon; the most painful cut for newspapers” (Alan D. Mutter, Editor & Publisher ).

According to this and other similar predictions, the future for paper newspapers is anything but bright. Many commentators, including price Waterhouse Coopers, suggest the only viable solution for newspapers is to go digital. The standard newspaper business model is evolving at a rapid rate. Both the production of newspapers and indeed the scope and style of their content have adapted over the years. No longer do people have to wait to pick up their daily paper to get access to the latest news. With the proliferation of live, rolling news on television and the profusion of computers in the workplace and smartphones in the pocket, people now access news whenever it’s convenient for them. This has resulted in the market for newspapers, and indeed ‘news’ itself has become a lot more fierce and competitive. Being able to read the news electronically from any newspaper is what the market wants tomorrow, if not today.

- Tiina Jounio, Oulu University Library, Finland
