Hi All,

We have been discussing the future of newspapers for a
little while now. But one essential question has not
been answered: what is actually the definition of
news. News is a fact or opinion that has just been
exposed for the first time without being mentioned
anywhere before so nobody could had noticed it before.
As this happens all the time, an important aspect of
news is that it constantly refreshes.

News is not static. Print is. Digital publishing is
dynamic.

Following this reasoning it would be inevitable that
the world is turning more and more NoPapers. When
technology is ready to widely offer an excellent
reading experience, newspapers will absolutely be
mainly distributed digitally - produce once,
distribute endlessly.
