The Newspaper Publishing Industry provides a timely, all-inclusive approach to the alluring newspaper business. Robert Picard and Jess Brody, both of California State University at Fullerton, offer insight into the economics of a newspaper as a product that delivers both advertising and information. They also explore business and management issues ranging from increasing diversity to developing telecommunications-based information services. The authors place the social, technological, and economic aspects of this fascinating profession into context.
Prior to 1862, when the Department of Agriculture was established, the report on agriculture was prepared and published by the Commissioner of Patents, and forms volume or part of volume, of his annual reports, the first being that of 1840. Cf. Checklist of public documents ... Washington, 1895, p. 148.
Newspapers: A Lost Cause? describes the recent history of newspaper firms in the United States and The Netherlands, and attempts to assess the chances of survival of the printed newspaper. The changing competitive media landscape and the challenges of today's newspaper organisations, including the impact of the Internet on the news industry, are described and analysed. The author argues that although the printed newspaper will not be replaced overnight by (new) competing media, the traditional business model of newspapers is being eroded slowly but steadily. A healthy newspaper industry and prospering newspaper firms can only exist, if management - including journalists and marketeers - focus their attention on changing the newspaper organisation and capitalise more intensively on its core assets and skills.
