Marc Andreesen advises newspapers to shut down the presses

by Alfred Hermida, on 1179 days ago , under Innovation, Internet, Journalism, Newspapers

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen shared his provocative ideas on newspapers, the future of the internet and more on Charlie Rose.

Whether you agree with him or not that the printing presses should be shut down,
Andreessen is an engaging speaker and well worth listening to.

Oh, and he believes video gaming is a core human experience, and Gears of War 2 is his favourite game at the moment.

   Don’t close down print operations until you have something portable and user-friendly to replace it.

   I won’t be canceling my print subscription until Canadian papers are offered in a Kindle-like device.
