The newspaper is dead

The modern newspaper world, facing the challenge of the internet, is not a place that William Randolph Hearst or Lord Beaverbrook would recognise.

An online revolution is battering the world's press, taking away readers, slashing ad revenues and wiping out jobs. Blogs and websites fill the internet with up-to-date news and commentary and they do so for free. Many believe traditional print journalism is facing extinction.

This Debate of the Day is part of the coverage of our event The Future of News.

Full video of this event is available now, along with a full audio podcast of the event.
