OK, that’s probably not true. But don’t rule it out. Let’s just say the announcement Tuesday that the Star Tribune has been sold is putting a few people on edge around here. As for RandBall, we’re reserving judgment. Change can be good. We’re hoping it is in this case. With change, however, comes a renewed discussion of the future of newspapers. It’s no secret that circulation figures nationwide are on the decline. The Interwebs, podcasts and other forms of “new media” are carving into the print base. But here’s a question: How much do you still value the printed paper? I still like a good hard copy of the paper every day, and I can’t imagine that ever changing. But what about you? And what will a “newspaper” look like in 10 years? 30 years? 100 years? You know, aside from the holograms.
