The Pew Research Center has just released its annual The State of the News Media report. The 2011
report shows that while American media revenue improved in 2010, and newsroom
cutbacks eased, newspapers were still badly hit, with further job losses
threatened.
Some experiments with new revenue models began to blossom. However, the
report asks the question of whether, in the digital realm, the news industry is
actually in control of its future.
