Signs Of Print's Future

I've been keeping a close eye on the newspaper publishing business, especially in countries where going online is easier and more accessible than here. It might be a sign of where things are heading not just for newspapers, but for many print products.

Papers Facing Worst Year For Ad Revenue
The Baltimore Sun Cuts Jobs
Newspaper Death Watch

I wonder how magazines and books are being affected, and whether it's the same here in the RP.

(On a brighter note, there's a post here at Sam's Stuff about a list of Top 100 books from The Big Read (Creating A Nation Of Readers). It's always interesting to read other people's views of what should or shouldn't be in a list, and then to read the books for yourself to make your own decision).

Actually there's a meme around about how many of the those 100 books you've read.
