Newspaper editors believe the daily paper will survive in the age of the internet, but think they will change to become free, and to place a greater emphasis on comment and opinion in the future
86 percent of respondents to a survey conducted by Zogby International for the World Editors Forum and Reuters believe newsrooms should become more integrated with digital services; two in three believe the most common form of news consumption will be via electronic media, Reuters writes.
56 believe the majority of news, both print and online, will be free in the future, compared to 48 percent who said they believed that a year ago.
61 percent of editors in the emerging newspaper markets like South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Asia believe in a free model in the future, while just 48 percent of editors from Western Europe believe news will be free.
The greatest threat to newspapers is not the internet, according to those surveyed, but the declining number of young people who read newspapers.
