- Print is dead.
- Journalism is dying.
- Paid online content will save newspapers.
- No one will pay for online news.
- You haven’t tried anything.
- You should try everything.
- We’ve tried everything.
- We’ve certainly tried that before, and it didn’t work then, so it won’t work now.
- This is all corporate media’s / Google’s / Craig’s / Bush’s / Obama’s / the economy’s / the Internet’s / journalists’ / management’s / education’s fault.
- No one will miss newspapers when they’re gone.
