So, talking about the future of the newspaper industry is what all of the cool kids are doing.  Some have said the that the better question is not whether the newspaper industry can be saved, but whether journalism can be saved.  Ok, but let us talk about the newspaper industry.   Can the New Yorks Times, Boston Globe, and LA Times be saved?  It’s like asking whether Kodak, Poloroid, and Fuji Film can be saved.  Or Xerox.   The answer is that yes, they can be saved, but they look very, very different than they appear today, and even then, only if they are willing to go through the transformation.

As an experiment, I’ve started a discussion regarding what a mobile version of Boston.com should have here.

By the way, Apparently Arriana Huffington (sp?) has started a foundation to sponsor lone journalists – which is cool, and a start.
