Media Nation's Globe Rx

Published Mar 26 2009, 11:47 AM by Adam Reilly

Dan Kennedy offers five proposals for Morrissey Boulevard, including making Boston.com the primary news vehicle (rather than the newspaper) and finding a way to get a whole lot more out of Metro Boston.

I'm not sure about Dan's second suggestion, which involves a steep increase in print-edition prices--he mentions $2 for weekdays and $5 for Sunday--and an accompanying push to add value for print purchasers and subscribers. My hunch is that, with increases like that, so many people would stop reading the print edition that it wouldn't be worth printing it, period--no matter what new bells and whistles got thrown into the mix.

But maybe I'm wrong. And the rest of his ideas seem eminenty sensible.
