He criticizes them for not having internet-savvy people on the board, but the nytimes has a perfectly good, very popular website. I forget the statistics, but it gets something like 50x as many readers as the paper, and about 1/50th the revenue. The internet isn't going to save the print business.
- SwellJoe 19y ago"50x as many readers as the paper, and about 1/50th the revenue" The question, of course, is how do they fix this problem...not "How do we continue to pretend that the print business will always be there?" They've got a great technology team on the ground--see some of the recent Open Source announcements from them. But, obviously, they don't know how to make money on those 50x readers. I don't either...but they're going to have to figure it out, or die a slow death.
