Print? Or Internet?


There was an interesting article in the New York Times yesterday that asked that particular question.

It may be a niche publisher, but the International Data Group has been working out the answers to some big mainstream questions. The biggest one: Can print media survive the transition to the Internet?

It's an interesting piece, devoted mostly to news and information rather than short stories and novels. It notes that information must be delivered in small doses, with the accompanying advantage of following quick-breaking stories immediately rather than adhering to a print schedule.
