I had to chuckle this morning when I read in the New York Times that even newspaper executives think that newspapers ignore good news stories.
The article – More Readers Trading Newspapers for Web Sites – explains about continued loss of print circulation and a new, independent measurement of online readership. The combined information is "good news."
Industry executives said they hoped the new numbers would put a more positive cast on newspapers’ prospects than the routinely gloomy paid circulation reports have done.
“We do feel that there’s a story that’s been missed here,” said Stephen P. Hills, president and general manager of The Washington Post. There is good news about readership, he said, “but you wouldn’t know that to read the newspapers.”
Bing!
