Via Richard Bowman (RE/MAX ):

This term is not for just your local store anymore. With newspapers closing down across the globe I ponder the question: Do you prefer to read the paper or would you read it online or with an electronic viewing device (plastic)? I personally think paper is a dying medium Even my parents who aren't from the computer age find themselves getting news online. Since checking email has become a normal routine for people the next obvious thing is to read news stories while you are checking the mail. Newspapers were monopolies of Ad revenues prior to the mass appeal of the Internet. Lets face it big companies like mine (remax.com) drive more people to their sites than the newspaper could even wish to circulate to. As a Realtor I placed an Ad in the newspaper before.... it cost me an arm and a leg and I received two phone calls. I placed the identical ad on craigslist and received numerous calls over 200 hits to my site refered by craigslist and sold the property I was advertising within 30 days.Seems to me if the paper wants to stick around they should lower their Ad rates and become favored again by the very people who keep them in business the advertisers
