Technology Finally Gets the Better of Seattle's Oldest Newspaper
Comments(0) Step right up and read all about it, a little while ago I mentioned that a number of the US’s newspapers were in trouble financially and the current owners were trying to either sell the paper or would move them to an on line model. Well news today from the US is that the Hearst Corporation, owners of the troubled Seattle Post Intellingencer have been unable to find a buyer and have decided to move the paper to an on line version effective from today.
According to the paper, “the last print edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer will be published Tuesday. The Hearst Corp. announced that the P-I will become the nation’s largest daily newspaper to shift entirely online.”
It will be worth watching the move as this could well be a model that other print based papers may have to follow to stay afloat. May make a few print supporters in the real estate industry here in Australia start to look at these trends.
