This does not mean that television and newspapers need lose their historic role of keeping people informed about what is happening in the world around them.
And, crucially, newspapers must give readers a choice of accessing their journalism in the pages of the paper or on websites such as Times Online or - and this is important - on any platform that appeals to them, mobile phones, hand-held devices, ipods, whatever.

 Adapt or die - Murdoch | | The Australian
"Societies or companies that expect a glorious past to shield them from the forces of change driven by advancing technology will fail and fall," he said in a speech to the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers.
In January 1986, he moved his British newspapers The Times, The Sun and The News of the World overnight from their historic home on Fleet Street, central London, to a purpose-built facility in Wapping, in the east of the capital.
It was credited by some with not only breaking the stranglehold of print unions on a hitherto unprofitable industry crippled by strikes but paving the way for developments such as colour printing, supplements and websites.

 IP Democracy
How rich is this — Rupert Murdoch, the prototypical media baron, gave a speech yesterday in which he proclaimed the era of powerful media chieftains has ended.
(His speech was to a group with a Dickensonian too-good-to-be-true-but-is-true name, The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers).
Owen Gibson in The Guardian writes that Murdoch said that power has shifted to the masses and away from the old elite, an assessment that, however rich with irony, is nonetheless consistent with Murdoch’s recent push into the social networking business and his iconoclastic attitude.

Murdoch’s message is less about the possibilities of embracing what he termed ‘the golden age of information’, than the wrackful force of such ‘creative, destructive technologies’ for those reticent to do so.

It was then a small step to conceive the idea of reviving the link between Stationers' Hall and its Cecilian past: and within a couple of years the annual St Ceciliatide International Festival of Music was born.
Anthony Rooley gives a lecture on the links between St Cecilia and music, and the Festival continues its ancient links with St Bride's, where it is still customary to honour St Cecilia on her Feast Day through the church liturgy.

Murdoch, whose News Corporation empire ranges from newspapers and magazines to television and film interests across the globe, described the 21st century as "the second great age of discovery".

In April 2005 he delivered a keynote speech to US editors, setting out how he hoped to adapt his business to the new media world.
And it's not just op-ed columnists who are having their conceits pricked by the "little guys" - powerful politicians and media figures have felt the brunt of the blogs too, thanks to the ability of dedicated amateurs to continue to harry a story long after newspaper editors would have told their writers to back off.

On one hand, this shows that the newspaper branch in the US is very sickly.
For the authors, this trend is joined with a rather worrisome picture since these newspapers have resources, means and the ambition to guard over city, regional and state institutions as “watchdogs.” This task can hardly be taken over by suburban daily papers or weekly papers.
