The exodus from print to digital is picking up speed. As I discovered today, the Christian Science Monitor announced in October that it will halt the printing and distribution of its daily edition. In its place will be a website (CSMonitor.com), a weekly print edition and daily e-mail newsletters. In another sign of change, Google has dropped its print ads program.
Newspapers may not yet be extinct, but what is left of their market will be very different in a few short years. As marketing guru Seth Godin blogged a few days ago, "What will you miss?"
