I'm off this week, and not getting paid, which gives me plenty of free time to think about whether there's a future in the news business. (It's hard to be optimistic given Hearst's decisions to shut down or make huge staff cuts at its newspapers in San Francisco and Seattle.)
One of the industry's most difficult questions is: Can we make enough money from the Web to make up for all the money we used to make from the printed newspaper? (Or can we at least make enough to pay for effective newsgathering staffs?)
