Absolutely Dogwatcher. I am seeing it as well. A competitor of mine in Qld went purely online. Dead, buried gone within 6 months! The death of the newspaper was predicted 40 odd years ago, due to Radio & TV. Newspapers, despite their falling readership are surviving for now. Purely online publications face tough times, in terms of cut through. One online publication that I do subscribe too, can often take 5 or more minutes to download. Too hard. I close it down and get on with something else.

I think the problem with online publications is the amount you can access thus it muddies the waters for what you actually spend time on.
Facebook read through, Twitter read through, couple of forums, update a podcast or two, maybe Nine MSN or News.com or the like and how have you got time for downloading and viewing anything else?

So it seems the challenge is no longer getting a hard copy in our hands but also an electronic one on our screens. Hard work for advertisers....
