The relevance of a newspaper is directly proportional to its content: the more it relates to the reader's own world, the more disposed that person will be to read it.

The question is, what is the perception of time, and at what rate does it change? I mean this in the context of information networks, whose latency and bandwidth influence that perception.

We live in a world of contracting time. That much is obvious just by looking at the unending stream of information bombarding us every day. There's not enough time to absorb it all. Some say that's the real reason newspapers aren't doing well.

It's official: the newspaper business is at an inflection point, and the solutions are being offered at an increasing clip: go nonprofit; charge more; charge less; establish a hybrid model. No wonder there's no agreement, except on the fundamental inability of the industry to sustain itself.

Social media is about the common good. The message here is sell what you have, even if you have to repackage it. Free is not a model for long-term success, not for online newspapers. At some point, you have to put your hand out: once a week, once a month, or once a year.
