The World Newspaper Congress and the World Editors Forum is going on in Seoul, Korea this week, and some “experts” there think that newspapers can profit from mobile technology, declaring that “Mobile will accelerate the newspaper’s renaissance.” Contrast this with what I said at a mobile conference in LA last month (which Tony picked up): “The thought of newspapers playing a major role in mobile [content sector] borders on ludicrous.”
Anyway, overlooking that long-term point, some good examples of how mobile can help newspapers: Mobiles build single copy sales by creating a ubiquitous fountain through which newspapers can distribute their content.
