There are many other areas that newspapers must consider at this time. What about the type of news? Do we really need several (or dozens) of different online news sources that cover the exact same story in almost the same way? Which market is the "paper" going to serve? Can it continue to server the same geographcial area? What about the target readers? Can it continue to target the same readers? Should the paper consider targeting a specific type of reader with different demographics and psychographics? Can the paper continue to cover the same subjects (e.g., top stories, sports, business, entertainment, etc.) Or must it focus on a specific niche suject? What about the use of social media? Does it make sense for the publicaiton to use social media and how? what about the use of video? What other revenue models could be used besides or in addition to ads and voluntary pay? Which media / content partnerships does the paper need to succeed in its chosen market? How will the "paper" need to market and promote its offerings online and offline? I am not suggesting that all of these questions must be answered, but this a representative sampling of the types of questions that must be considered. Repurposing print news for online consumption and adjusting the publication frequency and deciding whether to make money from ads or voluntary donations is likely not going to be enough for survival.
