The art of newspapers

A reporter asked me if print is dead.
No, I said.
The analogy I made is to visual art in the 19th Century -- in particular painting -- under siege by photography as a process that was clearly going to be a more effective means of rendering images of visual reality.
As a result visual art begun to give people images of mental reality, emotional reality and onotological reality. Visual art went higher up the aesthetic ladder, and became more valuable.
So the newspaper is losing the battle for reporting what's happening in the world in the most timely fashion to radio, tv and the internet.
As a result the newspaper -- with the evolution of the personal newspaper -- will begin to present a reader's mental reality, emotional reality and ontological reality.
Newspapers will move farther up the aesthetic ladder, and in the process become more valuable.
