“The print product is dead. It all has to be fed into the internet product now. The internet is going to save the written word,” according to sports columnist Jay Mariotti during an interview on a Chicago sports radio show.
“Yahoo got something like 30 million hits during the Olympics. These places are for real. They’re legit. It’s just something we’re all going to have to come to grips with. Our fathers may read a newspaper over coffee, but I don’t know anyone under 40 who is picking up a newspaper and reading it.”
Mariotti resigned this week from Chicago Sun-Times newspaper, bemoaning that sports journalism is now ‘a Web site business.’
