Malcolm Turnbull Quotes

The reason we have not gone to newspapers is because its a slow growth industry and I think they are dying. I'm not sure there will be newspapers in 10 years. I read newspapers every day. I even read Murdoch's Wall Street Journal.

I think almost every newspaper in the United States has lost circulation due to the Internet. I also think the Internet will lead to a lot of plagiarism in journalism.

The digital revolution has disrupted most traditional media: newspapers, magazines, books, record companies, radio.

I don't think there are too many traditional media guys who really understood what the new digital media is about.

Newspapers are the engines that drive the Web.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

The question I ask myself is what would have happened if newspapers hadn't initially given their content away for free on the Internet. It's so hard to get people to pay once they are accustomed to having something for free.

The advent of the Internet exposed the fact that the old business model for newspapers was broken. The world wide web fundamentally changed the media eco-system, challenging established journalistic practice in what is known as the mainstream media: radio, television, newspapers and magazines.

Sooner rather than later, any other form other than digital media will be a thing of the past. It won't vanish, but let's face it, this is seemingly the way of the future.

The future is electronic. It's radio, television and the Internet; it's not really newspapers anymore.

I think there'd be huge losses if there weren't newspapers. I know everything's shifting to the Internet and some people would say, 'News is news, what you're talking about is a change of consumption, not the product that's out there.' But I think there is a change.

Television saved the movies. The Internet is going to save the news business.

Just like the VCR opened the film and TV industries to unimaginable new revenue streams, search, RSS and the Internet will do the same for marketers and media companies.

Having spent two years at AOL, I would love to be able to go back to that industry knowing what I know, and I think I would be able to help the traditional media side to better understand what is coming at them, how to deal with it.

Everything has gotten less expensive. Digitization has made content, whether it's print or music, less costly. Today, anyone can read the news for free online.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

Anything remotely resembling news media is going to continue to migrate online until very little or none of it is produced on dead trees.

Yes, the disruption of the Internet can be blamed for the destruction of the business model that once made journalism a thriving, well-paying enterprise, but it has also created an array of new tools for reporting. Somebody will eventually figure out how to make online newspapers profitable - I hope.

It may be coincidence that the decline of newspapers has corresponded with the rise of social media. Or maybe not.

The stories about broadcast dying or it being overtaken by cable have stopped. Same goes for the stories about the Internet hurting our business.

The digital apocalypse continues to blight the lives of television producers, music-industry executives and newspaper publishers, all of whom are scrambling to figure out how to reconfigure their business models in such a way as to allow them to make an honest buck.

If you look at the Internet, it's been hard for a lot of the traditional media companies to launch viable brands.

I think the media world is adjusting to the digital age.

The digital world is one that has sort of a unique characteristic, where it's a place in which it's very easy for the value of content to fall.

On my end, I am still surprised that many media organizations are unable to adapt to new media formats and, more importantly, new network behaviors.
