Somebody on the Post commented that TV stations would be gone in 5 to 10 years, because newspaper sites do video better. Uh, yeah, right. Frankly, you can get better video at YouTube off a cell phone in an Iraqi torture chamber than some of the stuff our newspaper bretheren are doing. If anybody is going to be gone soon, it'll be newspapers because you don't need all that staff to put out bridge columns and Doonesbury strips in the classifieds. Bottom line, once newspapers move all their products to online, then they'll get to experience competition like we have in the TV industry for years. No more markets with one big newspaper information provider. There'll be lots of little guys (local TV, local radio, local blogs) and lots of big guys (eBay, Craigslist, Google local, Yahoo local) to take your audience away. Yawn.
