MEDIA PREDICTIONS FOR 2008
[SOURCE: BusinessWeek, AUTHOR: Jon Fine]
Could these be the big stories of 2008? 1) At least one daily newspaper in a top-100 US market will stop publishing on Saturdays. 2) A major band will release a digital version of their album on a pay-what-you-want basis. 3) Wall Street Journal readers and staffers concede that the News Corp. purchase has not destroyed their paper. 4) AOL explores a broad partnership and/or deal with either Microsoft, Google, or Yahoo! 5) Technological issues continue to make cell phones an undernourished and disappointing media platform in America. 6) FCC Chairman Martin's half-a-loaf bid to undo the laws preventing newspapers from owning television stations in the same market goes nowhere. 7) General Electric considers selling NBC Universal. 8) Google takes a first tentative crack at designing an operating platform for cable operators' set-top boxes.
