Fair warning

More warnings for legacy media from the AP ME conference.

"At some point in the current generation, more people will get their news from the Internet than from newspapers," said SW Papert III, chairperson and chief executive officer of Belden Associates, a newspaper research and consulting firm in Dallas.

"We've got to deliver the news the way readers want it," Papert warned on a panel examining the future of newspapers at the Associated Press Managing Editors conference in Louisville. "If we don't meet their demands, then we're dead."

Perhaps that means more news flashes on cellphones and wristwatches and projected on walls in public buildings, he said.

Anybody know this Papert fellow? Sounds like someone we should meet.
