In America's embattled newspaper
industry, some business innovations are showing clear signs of success,
according to a new report by the Pew Research Center. While many of these are
occurring on the digital side, some papers are generating new print
revenue-through circulation gains, niche products and even sales
reorganization.
The report follows a year-long
effort to identify newspaper successes in the search for new business models.
This report analyzes four such dailies whose executives explained, in detail,
the motivation and strategy behind their experiments and shared internal data
about the results with the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in
Journalism.
