I still read the Boston Globe and the New York Times every morning.  I don’t read news online unless it is very current.  I still find the serendipity of newspapers satisfying it is hard to get the same experience online.

But, Patrick Smith’s article on paidContent:UK entitled Online Or Bust: Why 2009 May Be The Nail In Newspapers’ Coffins makes a convincing argument that the current business model is broken and that classified advertising is evaporating.

This trend may present good opportunities for online journalism.
