The Last Newspaper

The newspaper industry landscape is littered with digital tombstones, from layoffs at The Associated Press to The Christian Science Monitor going almost completely online. Yet the future is bright. For where there is journalism, there is hope. Former newspaper journalist and professional new media consultant Gary Goldhammer pulls from his years of blog writing to analyze the decline of newspapers – and in doing so finds the bright spots where news, and storytelling, will thrive in the new decade. The Last Newspaper is a mix of true stories, anecdotes, humor and longing for a time in journalism not completely gone, yet perhaps disappearing too soon.
