The idea that the print newspaper business faces doom made it to “The Simpsons.” Gawker has a clip.

I looked for it on YouTube, but it was removed for copyright infringement.

Found the clip on Dailymotion:

I wonder if Nelson read “$23B zapped in news stock value” by Alan Mutter.

Others who mentioned the episode and a quote from each post:

1. MediaBistro “And Moe also noted how much journos like to drink.”
2. Suchandrika “Print is withering, and it won’t ever fully die, but the change from one system to another will be a protracted process, and probably fairly painful.”
3. Steve Outing “A joke for we media geeks.”
4. My Musings 2.0 “If that’s not reason enough to change, I hope the declining stock shares, tumbleweed infested newsrooms and a distrusting, stimulation hungry audience provide the news media with a much-needed catalyst.”
5. Eaves “You know things are bad when even the Simpsons are making fun of you. It means your (impending) death has permeated the popular culture.”
6. Print CEO From the comments: “Yet as one door closes a new one opens.”
   
7. Your World Today “Yet, most advertisers (specially in Halifax) still utilize print mediums as the main vehicle for their commercial messages.”
8. Media Biz “Now that’s probably a bit harsh.”
9. Rex Hammock “…it’s a rather amusing few seconds.”
