New York Times: Plenty of Potential Takers

The Sulzberger family will eventually have to do something. The idealogical perspective will be eventually overwhelmed by poor financial results. While they control the voting shares they do not control the conflicted cash flow.

It is because of their idealogical perspective that I feel they will do a big money deal with someone like the companies I have suggested. They will negotiate caveats to continue journalistic integrity and their own personal;/family agenda. The acquirer will provide a viable strategy to monetize the content and a lot of trees will not be cut down. It is a short step from mass aggregator to controller of news content. By yanking NYT content off of everyone elses aggregation model you throw a very serious and disruptive punch.
