‘The last issue of the New York Times’ was published by Italian daily La Stampa deputy editor Vittorio Sabadin on January 19. Two weeks later the book was sold out.
Sabadin retraces the history of the challenges that newspapers have faced in the last 30 years, and their responses. The author provides the reader with working solutions and with the reasons for their success. He comes to a conclusion that is rather surprising when worded by a journalist: “It is not a tragedy if the printed newspaper dies; what needs to be saved and will last is good journalism”.
Editorsweblog brings you Sabadin’s most relevant insights.
