The Times-Picayune in a Changing Media World begins with a wonderful cover—a color photo of a bearded man reading a paper while next to him a young child is looking at her iPod screen. The book appears in only four chapters—a quick history of the traditional printed paper, its role in the 1960-61 school desegregation crisis in its home town of New Orleans, its first year of digital publication, and a content analysis of news before and after the decision was made to go to digital publication instead of paper (the latter appeared only three days a week as of 2012) . . . . [This] study sheds light on the universal question at newspapers these days—what works?
