Notes from the timeline: “This schedule for newspaper extinction shows
best estimates given current trends. The timeline is intended to
highlight the diversity of global media markets and stimulate useful
strategic conversations. Newspapers in their current form becoming
insignificant is not the same as the death of news-on-paper, which
will continue in a variety of forms. Ways that newspaper publishers of
today will succeed in the transition beyond ‘newspapers in their
current form’ include transitioning to other channels, providing
personalized news-on-paper, and tapping niche markets.”
