Along with those, there are police mug shots, catastrophe photos (old and new, which beg more questions), and even recent 911 video footage made into some modern art museums. You ask all important questions which just all start to trickle down into and add to the dirty pool by the name of "what is art?" and people would rather walk a mile around this dirty stinking pool than to dip one toe into it... all i know is that at the turn of the last century (god, im old!) there were a lot of matter of fact journalism photography that is now hang in museums as works of art.

It's already an issue here in my building as the papers are left at the entrance to the building, available for anyone to get them. Sometimes papers are delivered for people for weeks after they've moved. It's a great way to get a glance at what's above the fold as I'm walking out the door to work, but I've all but given into reading several papers online before I head out. The hope of entering the realm of freelance journalism makes me upset that I do not subscribe. But the ability to read most of the paper without the ink and the hassle of whether or not there will be one waiting for me is worth it.

But for newspapers, with whom we've worked as consulants, the macro problem made up from many of these individual cases is a real long-term concern: there is increasing urbanization and, within that, fewer and fewer detached dwellings. This greatly increases the complexity of delivering physical items securely -- they aren't allowed to use mailboxes, it's too expensive to install their own secure facilities, the cost of delivery personnel is going up at a time when cost-cutting is a major focus, and petty thievery is much more broadly accepted as a "reasonable" behavior because of the anonymity of urban dwellers, so physical security (versus personal notes or other neighborly approaches) is more necessary. The future is one of newstand sales, office distributions, and other local distribution sites -- these are cheaper than home delivery but they aren't as stable because of fewer subscriptions. We're heading back to the news hawker on the corner at a time when the market values stable long-term projections for costs and revenues.
