Yes, this is the solution. Newspapers should move away from the profitable print model and post their articles on Facebook, where the revenue will be far less and there will be less ability to gauge readership.

Then, again, wifi access isn’t practical for a doctor’s waiting room, right now; so printed media will be around for awhile.

Love the post Chris, though I’m a bit late to commenting on it :)

I don’t know how many major papers are doing this, but it’s something several college papers are doing, and something Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Hassell has been heading up in a big way at the New Jersey Star-Ledger (http://www.theexplodingnewsroom.com/).

Even the trade pub I work at has tentatively been dipping our toes into Facebook!

I wonder how much they spent on an ad that they left with typos in it. What’s a seaonsal?

I suspect I might actually know some of the local news then. I’m all for atomized online news at all levels.

Nice post, Chris. The Facebook ad you’ve featured here even replicates another of the charms of local newspapers – typos! Seriously though, I can’t see our local paper doing this sort of thing when they’ve only just caught on to the fact that blogs exist. And judging from the way they give space in the paper exhorting people to blog, I think they’re only interested because they think that hosting blogs could somehow be another revenue stream for them *sigh* …
