Dan McCrum, Writer and Lex Columnist, Financial Times, commented on the economy

The economy is getting better, observed Lex Columnist Dan McCrum, speaking at a private reception last night, hosted by Financial Times.

The economy is showing some green shoots (especially if you look hard), but there’s still uncertainty, he said, about how it will all turn out . . . look for improvements by the end of this year.

With regard to newspapers, he observed, “The recession is kicking away another peg of a stool already tottering.”  But as an upside to the downturn, he said conditions are speeding the digitization of content:  Everything may be moving online, but in the future it may not continue to all be free.
