Abstract

As many of it already know, print media and especially newspapers have been experiencing difficult times around the world. Moreover, the growth of the internet and a different way of searching for news, the newspapers printed every year is losing space. The purpose of this article is to show that we can have a great help using the Verbal Decision Analysis for choosing a better strategy for a newspaper printed in times like this where implementing a new strategy can bring incalculable prejudice if it is the wrong strategy.
