Vacaville opinion editor sees digital future

Karen Nolan, the opinion page editor at The Reporter in Vacaville, says in this column that the new manager of her paper’s owner, MediaNews, is on the right track when it comes to becoming a digital content provider. “Yes, we still have to serve our loyal readers who want a paper product at the breakfast table. But if we expect to be in business 20 or 30 years from now, we have to start serving the Internet generation's needs, too. And it's not just the 20-year-olds whose habits are changing. Even an oldster like me is changing the way I consume information.”
