Just because you’re on the board of the Washington Post doesn’t mean you can’t keep it real. Barry Diller has been sharing his thoughts on the future of newspapers with Portfolio:

“I think that the print business, the ink business, is deeply challenged. But I also think that’s just the distribution mode. I think that the work that is done produces value, and it will produce value in the internet and other forms.”

But is there any hope? Go on – give us some hope, Barry!

“I now get the Washington Post printed on my own little printer on my boat every morning via the Internet.”

Thank %^&* for that. Now newspapers just have to start giving away boats.
