Who I Follow

No one is [immune]. And this slow suicide — as the great Molly Ivins called it — will continue unabated until the industry swallows hard and takes its product — every last newspaper — behind a paywall.

David Simon on the news that the Times-Picayune will no longer be a daily paper (Source).

Mr Simon, while I appreciate your work on The Wire, I can’t disagree more. Putting content behind a paywall isn’t going to save newspapers, but only further their decline and death. The salvation of the newspaper industry will be to follow the example of media outlets like the Texas Tribune, which is a non-profit corporation funded by donors and thriving while other papers are declining (e.g., the Fort Worth Star-Telegram recently closed their Austin bureau).
