WORKSHOP 2 (of 3): THE DEMAND SIDE
Why are audiences and advertisers deserting traditional media? Do they want something similar and better, or something quite different? What do we do for information when we don't read newspapers? Are social networks in the news business? Are blogs peaking? Which will seem more dated in 20 years—newspapers, or computer screens?
Robert Cottrell is deputy editor of Economist.com, the online arm of The Economist. He was previously a foreign correspondent in Asia and Europe, for The Economist and the Financial Times. He also writes regularly for The Spectator of London, and for the New York Review of Books.
