    Free WSJ.com and Online Finance Media: The Ad Numbers Add Up [view article]
    Hi Mick

    Solid article but I'm curious of your opinion on something. TheStreet.com has developed a cyclical advertising theme on their site, or so it would seem, in which Section A promotes Section B of the site, and B promotes C, and C promotes A. A solid amount of the ad space on the inside of the page is linked to other related offerings from the same company, which I believe would provide a drastic advantage. Does WSJ.com have a collection of relevant offerings to show their viewership? If not, I suggest they may require more work to achieve what TSCM and others have done. If so, it should turn out to be a solid play.

    Thanks for your article.

    David Jackson*HAPPY&HEAL... NEW YEAR! KIPLINGER'S "BEST OF EVERYTHING 2007' IS WELL DESERVED&CONGRATUL...
    You won my award when you acknowledged my comment back in early April 2007. Your response was within days, and I thank you. Moving forward to 2008, I was wondering if your prospective and comments have changed somewhat now that maybe my point wasn't taken serious or not and the results of my comment was more profound than Jim Cramer's intelligence or respect from institutional's. You said "Cramer is smart and is watched by many institutional investors, so we think his stock picks are a valuable resource for us to offer on SA." Since many of his 2007 stock picks didn't do so well, what do you attribute his calls that ended up being mistakes if he is so smart?
    I mean my original question was why would he pick, suggest, or Tout 'NSTK' in March 2007. Even after the stock dropped almost 48% to around $8 dollars on Nov.8th, he still suggested a "wait & see' which
    has proved to be a mistake once again, now that it is under $4 dollars Dec.30th,2007. You might be right that his smart, maybe smarter than we all know! But SA should not take a stance like a cheerleader when
    Cramer speaks solely. Balance and fair prospectives is what your readers need and want. Thanks for letting me once again voice my opinion. All the Best in 2008!     Reply

    Newspapers: Hitting The Coffin Nail on the Head [view article]
    You "hit the nail on the head"! What's even worse, anybody that would have looked around instead of keeping their head down while genuflecting to the Advertising department could have easily seen the changes taking place.

    I used to work on the production management side of newspapers and saw the train coming years ago. I was recently bought out/laid off/let go by Gannett but now I can rely on the internet skills I picked up, on my own, while being bullied into working with nothing and continually being told to give up more, and more, and more...

    To borrow a quote from Tony Romo, "I'm sorry I'm not sorry".     Reply

    This article has nothing to do with TSCM.

    Does anyone know why TSCM is going up so much?     Reply

    Management Shakeup Begins at Dow Jones [view article]
    Here's Gordon Crovitz' memo to Dow Jones employees; this is a quality, class-act guy:

    Colleagues:
    I wanted to give you some additional background on changes relating to the acquisition of Dow Jones. Executives from News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) will take on key management roles once the transaction occurs. As a result, I will step down as publisher of The Wall Street Journal and leave Dow Jones management, with my last day in my current office being the date of closing. More after the jump…

    I am gratified by what we have achieved together. We set out to integrate our brands and journalism across print, online and other digital channels. We now lead the media industry with a fully integrated structure, making The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and our other leading franchises more valuable to readers and advertisers.

    This integration across news, marketing, advertising, technology, operations and other departments, which we started last year, resulted in significant improvements in financial performance: The Wall Street Journal and the broader Consumer Media Group are both strongly profitable this year, after both losing money in 2005.

    The future of great journalistic enterprises is bright for those who can see and seize the opportunities ahead. The Wall Street Journal franchise has never been more vibrant. The print Journal was redesigned early this year as the first newspaper rethought for how people get their news in this Digital Age. The results include an industry-leading seven straight quarters of increases in circulation revenue. WSJ.com now serves 10 million readers, including more than one million paid subscribers; indeed, WSJ.com has as many paid online subscribers as there are paid readers of the print New York Times. Advertising increasingly is delivered across the more than 20 million consumers that Dow Jones reaches across media and brands, boosting our share of advertising revenues. The staffs of the Journal news and editorial pages have continued to grow, delivering the best in business news, analysis and opinion, serving readers however, whenever and wherever they need our journalism.

    I am delighted that the Factiva joint venture we created a decade ago is now the leader in its industry and a key part of Dow Jones. The acquisition of MarketWatch added millions of new online consumers and helped fuel our dramatic growth in online profits. The acquisitions of Private Equity Analyst, VentureWire, VentureSource and eFinancial News added new audiences and highly successful businesses.

    I am fortunate to have had a diverse career at The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones, over the course of 25 years, and look forward to continuing my affiliation by contributing a column to the Journal on the Information Age. I am even more fortunate to have had the chance to work with literally thousands of you as colleagues. There is no stronger team in publishing, and I wish you and your new News Corp. colleagues all the best as this next chapter begins.

    Regards,
    Gordon

    Google finance, yahoo finance or MSN marketwatch, it is all the same. I prefer trialtrade.com because it searches all these sites. Reply

    Impact of a Free WSJ.com on Wall St. Journal Circulation [view article]
    I thought the free on-line version will be free to those who subscribe to the print version (as I am). At one time, I subscribe to both, but could never justify my time reading the on-line version. Even if the on-line version is free, I probably would use it infrequently. omooc Reply

    Thanks for the kind feedback. This a testament to the combination of passionate non-journalists (our contributors), intelligent filtering, tagging and editing (our editors), and supplementary resources that make the site comprehensive (transcripts, news briefs, IPO coverage etc). Reply

    Congrats on the recognition. I've found some of the best finance related articles on SA. Your writers might not be considered "professional&quo... journalists, but the quality of the reporting has been fantastic from the start. Reply
