acknowledge that the idea that Peter J. Ramirez is journalism is far from mine, mainly because of his abuse of not let reality spoil a good headline. However, reading his Letter from the Director of the past Sunday, January 2, I was surprised sharing much of what he says in the last part, that it devotes to discuss the strengthening of quality press "to serve the truth."
Beyond that I do not believe in the truth, because there are so many such people, yes I assume it word for word some of his statements: "In our country there are only half a dozen essays from as many newspapers with effective enough, talent and determination to fulfill the right to information of citizens through complete coverage of today [...] Without the onerous permanent deployment of these leading newspapers in and out Spain, the radio talk shows and television as well as most digital forums would become empty shells, sentenced to masturbation to discuss their own comments. [...] Well, if we can not soon find a new business model in the sector, we have only the option to manage our own decline .[...] As you have noticed the great quality papers worldwide, the future of press passes through the multi-support and collection development for high value-added products, distributed electronically.
Clearly, the director of the world does nothing but sell its Orbyt and try to convince us that their model is best, but in any case, it remains true that we must take action and do it now.
do not believe in the death of paper, not least in a short period of time, but I think that newspapers are printed today are outdated and contribute little or nothing to readers, as it is raised .
And, of course, to make a worthwhile product to offer this added value, gratuity is not the road. This does not mean that some content can not be free, but bring something of quality is not cheap. If we need the opinion or expert analysis of an expert, does going to pay voluntary contributions readers? Clearly not.
I believe in the coexistence of media and media. I'm sure there's room for free daily and for payment to the native web news and online versions of paper journals. In the same way that television does not preclude general there are issues of payment or that the film does not prevent you from watching movies on TV for free, I also believe that the online payment for enjoying certain content does not preclude that there are other free. However, I also believe that a short essay with a pair of journalists on staff and a handful of contributors and columnists can not offer the same as the online version of a large daily paper. And neither can nor will provide, because to investigate, to interpret, to bring this added value, you need a good team a free internet, funded only by advertising revenue can not sustain.
