Arianna Huffington, whose Huffington Post is working on a “citizen media” venture with NewAssignment.net (which I wrote about in an earlier post), has an interesting perspective on the future of newspapers in a recent post<\/a>. She describes how she and her friends are Web junkies, but still like to read a printed paper — although they print out different versions of papers from around the world, using NewspaperDirect.com. <\/p>\n

Then she describes what she sees as the future:<\/p>\n

“Those papers that wake up in time will become a journalistic hybrid combining the best aspects of traditional print newspapers with the best of what the Web brings to the table.”<\/p>\n

“Chomping down on a story and refusing to let go is what bloggers do best. And while the vast majority of material that ends up being blogged about still originates with a mainstream news source, more and more stories are being broken by online news sources.”<\/p>\n

“So stop writing teary-eyed eulogies for newspapers. The only thing dead is the either\/or nature of the musty print vs online debate. The hybrid future is kicking down the door. It’s time to let it in and fully embrace it.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hat tip to Roy Greenslade of the Guardian for spotting that one — he has his own take on it here<\/a>. For whatever it’s worth, I think Arianna nails it pretty well. <\/p>\n

In other Huffington news, Rachel Sklar of Eat The Press has a great overview of a panel<\/a> she was on at the American Society of Newspaper Editors’ conference, along with Katherine Graham of the Washington Post and Barry Diller of IAC. Thanks to Rob Hyndman<\/a> for that link.<\/p>\n
