AI Challenges Traditional News Bundling Model
An analysis traces how newspapers emerged in the 19th century from converging technologies—rotary presses (Hoe's 1843 design), telegraph news services, and rail distribution—to create a bundled product that dominated information. The internet later unbundled those sections, causing the U.S. to lose about 2,100 papers since 2004, a 45% drop in weekday circulation and 36,000 journalist jobs; the author argues AI now exhibits bundling dynamics that could reconfigure media and services.
