That race, however torturous, has been run in the arena of slow economic growth. If, in fact, we do dip or tumble head over heels into another recession, all bets are off. The wheels may come off the wobbling [newspaper] industry.

I just don't understand why all analysis of the "newspaper industry" (such as the clip of the above piece posted on Niemanlab.org) is tightly focused on the big newspaper companies. So much of what's really working in the business is getting ignored. Also, for some reason the trend is to examine a newspaper company's "success" in the digital space to forecast whether it will be successful.
Many newspaper companies are still doing just fine - indeed thriving - in the print space alone.
