World’s oldest newspaper goes completely digital
Interesting story last week about the world’s oldest newspaper, which has decided to go with an on-line version only. Sweden’s Post-och Inrikes Tidningar, founded in 1645, became a web-only publication on January 1.
Mind you, the paper edition had a very humble circulation of approximately 1,000, but it’s still noteworthy given its history. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a majority of the tier two dailies here in Canada forego their paper editions within the next five years. However, I think our national papers and other leading daily newspapers will be around for a long time to come.
Thoughts?
