Newspaper execs stick to mantra

Newspaper industry figures are continuing to talk up the role of newspapers on the web, and are remaining in a holding pattern pending the introduction of a magic cure-all business model. W Dean Singleton, CEO of the MediaNews Group in the US, told attendees at the annual convention of the West Virginia Press Association, "We are well positioned as the cornerstone of media convergence". Singleton reiterated the usual call for "immersion" in new formats and in interactivity. "I'm a believer that the payoff on the web is there; it's just waiting for us to discover the right models."
