The NYT will die because they are not a must-have source of news or views. I find cringe-making purple prose on the front page of the NYT every time I pick one up. The writing is entirely too "precious", in spite of the many good writers they have. Further, their recent strategy of hiring alt-weekly writers to try and give them an "edge" to their reporting has only accelerated the decay - people can tell when you are posing.
