Talking Biz News
Washington Post business columnist
Steve Pearlstein said at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers annual conference:
* "Things will probably get worse [for newspapers] before they get better, but they will get better. And they will get better because people will pay for news. Not everyone. We won’t have as many customers as before, I suppose. But we will have customers, and they will pay more."
* "I am not saying that local is not important. It is important. But too much local news is not sophisticated. ...Every newspaper should have a business section. If your business page is not as good as USA Today's business page, there ought to be a good reason for that."
