Who killed the Newsprint Industry,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not I," says the mogul of Cable TV,
"Don't point your ink stained finger at me.
I could've stopped it on Channel 108
An' maybe kept them from his fate,
But the audience would've booed, I'm sure,
At not gettin' their money's worth.
It's too bad they had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn't me that made them fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not us," says the hyper web connected crowd,
Whose clicks filled the ethernet cloud.
"It's too bad they've suffered this plight
But we just like to Web surf all day and all night.
We didn't mean for them t' meet this death,
We're just like to read on the internet,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't us that made them fall.
No, you can't blame us at all."

"Not me," says Google's CEO star,
Puffing on a big fat Google cigar.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,
We always thought that they were well.
It's too bad for all good Netizen's that they're dead,
But if they were sick, they should've said.
It wasn't me that made them fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not me," says the advertising man,
With his online rate card still in his hand.
"It wasn't me that knocked them down,
My hands never touched them none.
I didn't commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I put money on them to win.
It wasn't me that made them fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not me," says the Luddite newspaper writer,
Pounding print on his old Smith Corona typewriter,
Sayin', "Good old journalists ain't to blame,
There's just no money in a paperless print game."
Sayin', "News journalism is here to stay,
It's just the old American way.
It wasn't me that made them fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not me," says the blogger whose posts
Laid them low in a cloud of free editorial mist,
Who came here from outside the media club door
From the digital world where the golden rule is not less but more.
"We hit them, yes, it's true,
But that's what I am NOT paid to do.
Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'
It was destiny, it was the media God's will."
