Is the Internet to Blame for Current Decrease in Print News?

Whitaker: "It's partly our [mainstream media's] fault" because content was given away for free at the beginning of the Web.

It's also Craigslist.com, Ebay.com, Amazon.com, etc etc etc.com, because people go to social networking sites and online shopping venues to find a new car, couch, coffee grinder, instead of looking in the daily newspaper for what is on sale. Advertisers have less incentive to publish in print.

And the Internet can hire you! Bloggers can be paid.
