Old-fashioned papers are thriving in India
ALAN RUSBRIDGER, the editor of the Guardian, a British newspaper, told an audience of Indians this month that digital technology was mauling the traditional print newspaper. That is certainly true in rich countries. But since 2005 the number of paid-for Indian daily newspaper titles has surged by 44% to 2,700, according to the World Association of Newspapers. That gives India more paid-for newspapers than any other country.
One reason why the internet has not yet started destroying Indian newspapers is that only 7% of Indians surf the web regularly. “It’s no threat yet,” says Bharat Bhushan, the editor of the Mail Today, a joint venture between the Daily Mail (another British paper) and India Today, an Indian weekly. Nor is television, although the number of channels available via cable and satellite has exploded and more Indians are paying for them. …

Japanese newspapers are in worse shape than they appear
AS NEWSPAPER companies across the developed world took a beating in the past few years, those in one rich country merely shrugged. Japanese newspapers are by far the world’s biggest: Yomiuri sells 10m copies each morning and another 3.6m in the evening. Newspapers enjoy such close ties with politicians and companies that news in Japan does not so much break as ooze. Yet the giants are teetering.
The problem is not circulation, which has held up well thanks to a distinctive system of distribution. Virtually all Japanese newspapers are delivered by agents who work on commission, frequently turning up on doorsteps to collect money. People carry on buying newspapers in Japan for the same reason they keep paying for gym memberships elsewhere: pushy salesmen. Between 1999 and 2009 the combined circulation of morning and evening papers in Japan fell by just 6.3%, according to Nihon Shimbun Kyokai (NSK), the newspaper publishers’ association. By contrast, American newspapers lost 10.6% of their paying readers between 2008 and 2009. …
