Well. So what's the difference? The New York Times , The Economist or The Guardian are already fully on the net. The images are there already. If they can control their message that way, individuals and businesses won't support the printing press any longer, and just work with the new medium. It would be a lot harder to do that with developing countries from financial standpoint, but I don't see too many problems with the developed countries.

it's deferent when you walk and see, when you drive and see, and different when you have to go online to see... it's rather an advertisement issue than news delivery... also how many people have access to the internet...

print press certainly changes and may disappear in the future, yet it may take a while... one thing is for sure is that it's no longer a news delivery tool

I agree with the delivery part of the news. There are too many bloggers and independent journalists that already make their presence to be felt by mass media. I suppose, the dark forces in the future, they can come up with some big advertisement flat screens on every public square and intersection, and beam up their messaging and images right into our brains.

they've done that already, take the Times Square... but here in California they started to regulate the billboard which could have been potential flat screens... yet public is quite conscious about it… it’s not just profit or practicality, there may be hundreds of other reasons that we may discover if you keep analyzing this matter… psychological for one I can assure is quite a factor….

I think with all the negative possibilities in the digital age, I still would prefer to have a full conversion to the digital side of things. First of all, it's convenient and less expensive. Secondly, the news papers and magazines can gather much wider audiences in the digital format than in print. Take The Wall Street journal for instance, especially in the global stock trading environment around the globe. You could be sitting somewhere at the cafe in Yerevan and in a few seconds the entire morning edition of WSJ will appear in your I Pad, Kindle or any other tablet you may use. Very cool and neat thing to have if you live in Yerevan and trade Wall street or Tokyo market. And the benefit to have one tablet instead of 4-5 books to carry to school or university, should really out shadow the possible negative impacts associated with the digital revolution.

hard to argue with that, however convenience is not the only aspect of the digital world... obviously no newspaper is a match to an ipad or an iphone these days let alone nook to be your library with unlimited books to download or rent, but the printed press still holds the strong priority of "things" such as "the news of the day"... News in the digital environment becomes or became should I say, rather subjective, meaning anybody from anywhere can post a news that will strike the "frontpage" of the search engine and having tweeter and youtube even makes the websites of the news agencies look archaic... we can watch a revolution online… with all of these speedy news flow the credibility of the sources became also questionable…

now as we can see with the “digital rush” the credibility becomes more important then the speed… printed press still holds the credibility…

I completely agree with you about the stock market and news, however I still don’t see the printed press to disappear completely at list anytime soon… there’s always a “backlash” … with the introduction of the photography paintings were supposed to disappear, so as with the movies the theatres, with videos the movie theaters and so on …

I would say we have a biological connection with the print and holds some kind of a “trust and respect”….

They say so. The heads of printed publications would like always to warn us that only their journalists can deliver unbiased and objective news to the readers. But they forget about the news agencies such as AP, France Press, BBC and others. They are completely digital and doing a pretty good job for a few years now. Sooner or later, the news will be digital. I look at this the same way as photography. Back in the day, in the early 90s, I studied in photography school and all of our processes, beginning with the development and ending with quality control graphing, was done by hand. Not any more. it's all digital with a few exceptions in Art photography. All of the wedding, fashion, photo journalism photographers migrated to the digital platform a while ago.

Speaking of the Nook. The other day i was at Barns and Noble and I saw their new color Nook for $250. Great price, considering it's twice less of the cheapest version of I Pad. I guess, I have to get read of my antiquated black and white Kindle and go for the Nook.

One correction, not get read of, get rid of

Being biased has nothing to do with printed or digital way of delivery. What I meant was the priority of the news and credibility.... from that perspective digital news delivery does not guaranty any of these qualities... the agencies you've mentioned haven't gone totally digital, moreover New York Times, LA Times and all others are still being printed and sold in the local coffee shops and stores....

Like I mentioned printed press is no longer about news delivery and speed... While websites constantly changing their headlines, news papers are concluding the most important and relative news of the day... it's more about way of delivery... printed culture, not just press, is still popular, plus you don't have too much destructions while reading the news, jumping from link-to-link. Most of the time it's an issue...

What I'm saying is, that the printed press will change its nature and purpose, but will be a while until it completely disappears if ever...

I guess, we have to see how it develops in a few years. It's all about business on this side of the pond. If the readership disappears in a few years, perhaps we will see the transformation. Only a few national papers are able to be profitable so far. Many are in catastrophic financial situation for the lack of readers-customers.
Biased and credibility kind of go together. Unbiased news also means credible news. For priority of the news...? May be so, but I bet the digital media can well prioritize its news content as well. We shall see.

I guess the news agencies may shift their profit from digital printing to another product, just can't think of any other product...

you see, the tweeter pushed the website back by being a constant flow of news, thus making the website look like a "news paper".... funny... who knows

[Դավիթ]

Yeah, but with the twitter, the majority is gossip anyway. Yes, it's fast and specific, but who needs to know every move of a famous person or a politician?

By the way, are you in LA or in Northern California?

people love gossip... you can't even believe how many people live by that... people vote for american idle many times more than for president....


I'm in LA... are you in Las Vegas?

[Դավիթ]

That's how it has always been with American elections. I used to live in LA for about 15-16 years. Now in Vegas, but i come down often to LA, a few times in a month.
