their revenues will fall regardless of what model they come up with. remember where talking about companies that thrive on exclusivity of information. the internet is like, the arch-nemesis of that.

and because they've been "taking it slow", the consumer's now mostly used to free information. i've personally not picked up a newspaper in quite a while. the last one i think was a free edition newspaper outside of a train station while i had to get on the train for 30 minutes.

the only way i can see these companies still making money is if they can produce trustworthy news. in short, i'd pay for the truth. but i don't trust any of the big ol' companies enough to conclude they "must be speaking the truth". in part because the internet has shown their not always speaking the truth.

it might just be time for these companies to go under and new ones will arise to take their place. lets just hope that they don't drag too much down with them when they go (bailouts, laws, etc).
