Episode 26: With Circulars at a Tipping Point, How Will Newspapers Support Local Journalism?

Episode 26 features an interview with Dean Ridings, the president and CEO of the newspaper industry’s largest trade association, America’s Newspapers. With classified ad revenue all but vanished and print circulars at a “tipping point,” Ridings talks about how the industry will generate enough funds to sustain it’s biggest competitive advantage: well-staff newsrooms. Gordon & Corey offer their insights and take a swipe at those who think advertisers will abandon social media and “come back” to tried-and-true print and broadcast media.
