The start of the end for the Print Media???

Over the past couple of weeks one of the USA's best known newspapers, The Washington Post, has started closing its offices all around the States. The reason for this is to concentrate on the local market (see here). Since that news first came out it has also come to light that they are getting rid of their Sports department!!! What? is the first thing that sprung to my mind. This is crazy in my own opinion and could well be the end for the Post. They have 2 reporters who work on the Redskins Football team alone. Has it ever crossed their minds that a huge population of people, mainly men, will only buy their newspaper for the sport.
Ok the web is taking over, and print media is in trouble, but i believe there is still a place for it, just to a lesser degree. Also why don't the WP concentrate their sports to their website, go online with it all. Young people love sports, have more time to read about sports and are Web savy and online on a regular basis. The WP is just alienating all these young people with one big swipe.

Almost like Rupert Murdock they seem to be ignoring the rather large elephant in the corner of the world. And of course, more important than any of that, a number of talented people are going to lose their jobs.

Its sad to see. The internet is here, and will be for the foreseeable, its a pity some of the supposed smartest people in the world can't see this.

By the way, Happy New Year, i believe 2010 is going to blow 2009 out of the water.
