HOW TO SAVE NEWSPAPERS: ASIA GETS IT

This week's Asia edition of Time magazine includes the very interesting story about the future of the newspaper industry. This story, written by Walter Isaacson, was the cover story of the U.S. edition last week.
The magazine also includes a one-page focus on why newspapers are thriving in this part of the world, written by the magazine's Bangkok-based reporter Hannah Beech. Perhaps the most interesting statistic is that while newspaper circulation in Europe and North America is contracting, circulation in Asia is growing by 4.74 per cent. China, India and Japan are also, in order, the world's newspaper markets with the United States ranked a distant fourth.
The story makes no specific mention of Thailand's newspapers but it's fair to say the Kingdom is home to at least four daily editions with circulations of more than 500,000 copies.
