I think people are more willing to pay for something they can hold, something that gives the feeling they own. And it is still an advantage that you can take your newspaper with you wherever you want to because it doesn't require internet access. However, nowadays, internet access has become a basic commodity in the majority of the households, and as we can access news for free there, people choose to read papers online. I don't think they would pay for online news, though. We already pay for our internet access, why should we pay for its content? Then I'd rather go back to buying newspapers...

Even though this article has been more than one year old I don't believe in any huge increase since then...Personally I support PRINT!
