MPC Gaining Market Share
Mar 20th, 2009 by MPC Press
I don’t fit the mold but I will someday. I read old media but publish new media. My favorite newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle (love the sports, it’s my hometown news, and the liberal bias helps balance my daily reading of the Wall Street Journal), may be closing its doors. Sure, we can’t blame this potential closure completely on the shift of readers and advertisers to the internet. It’s an awful economy as well. But, I guess the writing is on the wall (or the web, but not the paper). Someday, I will put my eyes where my fingers are; today I type my blog on the web, but I remain a faithful reader of newspapers, not online news. Tomorrow (meaning a year from now or sooner if the SF Chronicle shuts down), I will very likely be both reading and writing on the web. And, sfgate is fine, yet it does seem so comfortable to pick up a newspaper rather than stare at a screen…although we all know that what we read in the paper has been updated and may be outdated already. I do recycle of course, but I guess we shouldn’t waste the paper at all? Although there must be some equally harmful impact that online publications have on the environment or our bodies? Anyway, all of this is good for the MPC Press blog. Please keep reading; it’s new and fresh and hasn’t been published anywhere else!
