Why are newspapers silent in this lucrative podcasting boom?
Podcasts are booming, with podcast app Stitcher expecting to stream 20,000 by the end of the summer, up from 5,000 when it began two years ago, according to USA Today. But in the deluge of podcasts providers, newspapers are conspicuously absent. Of the top 10 most-read newspapers in the world, only The New York Times, the Guardian, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal have regular podcasts on iTunes.
