A tiny, but interesting norwegian debate on Twitter today about cross media and business models. Stavanger aftenblad - a large regional newspaper in the Stavanger area - has decided to quit publishing film/game/music-reviews online. The management has not given a reason for this publicly, but it´s a way of trying to make the print edition more attractive and in a way persuade more people to buy the print. A journalist tweeted the decision this morning and now it¨s a real debate on Twitter. A lot of readers are furious. You can follow the debate on #SAnett, #berekvam, #arilabra.
