Three newspaper
veterans on a panel at the recent New England Newspaper and Press Association
Convention agreed that “change” is the new state of the
newspaper industry.
Alan Baker, owner
of The Ellsworth American and Mount Desert Islander of Bar Harbor, both
in Maine; Eliot White, chief executive officer of the Record-Journal
Publishing Co. of Meriden, Conn., and George Arwady, publisher of The
Republican of Springfield, Mass., were the panelists at the workshop
Saturday, Feb. 6, on “The State of the Newspaper Industry.”
Baker opened the
workshop by saying that the most important thing newspapers need to
realize is that change is going to be very important for the industry
in coming years. Baker discussed changes at the Ellsworth American,
such as adding quarterly inserts on different topics, such as health
and tourist destinations, and adding a pay wall to the newspapers’
Web site.
