    Beyond 2Q Revenue Declines: AdMan's 9 Imperatives for New Growth [view article]
    I agree with above poster. Everyone knows what'sgoing on with industry. Anyone can point out all the problems. How many naysayers can actually offer solutions to the problems. Don't give me "there are no solutions" response. You find someone with innovative intelligent ideas that can be executed correctly. That person will find a solution to some of the problems in industry. BTW I work in print production at Gannett. The production plant I work for does alot of commercial printing that has nothing to do with the newspaper that hits the street. printing circulars for retail such a Rural King (1 million copies per week), Auto Books, Shop Local, Riverboat Gambling circulars plus many other Advertisers that are not in the local newspaper.

    Instead of Using missiles and suicidal planes, a dark force may have declared war upon us. It has succeeded, or almost succeeded, in forcing to their knees some of our most venerable financial institutions like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Countrywide Financial, Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac, Washington Mutual and Wachovia Bank etc. Now it has perhaps turned its attention to the next icon of our public-media world -- the New York Times.


    The charts show that NYT is trading at its 10 year low, and its put/call option open interest ratio reached the 100% percentile reading on July 15th.

    Since the New York Times is one of chrished tradition, I hope that the threatened attack by abusise shorting will not materialize, or that the SEC will put a stop to it under its new anti-abusive-shorting rules.

    More Evidence That Online Advertising Is Slowing (and Newspapers Are Suffering) [view article]
    What goes around...
    Many/Most newspapers support left wing socialist democrats.
    As the business industry that they despise makes less money there is less dollars for advertising. They, along with all of us, suffer as a result of their decisions. As the government they love usurps more of our money, we have less available to buy their rags.

    Key Datapoints on Internet Advertising and Content from The New York Times Co. [view article]
    billsoldest, thanks for reminding me that this contains a lot of jargon!

    Content vertical = A section of a website devoted to a particular topic. That allows you to target advertisers relevant to that topic.

    CPM = Price per thousand ad impressions. That's the standard way of quoting prices for Internet banner ads. (Google text ads, in contrast, are "price per click", namely the advertiser pays a fixed price per click on the ad.)

    Cannibalization (in this context) means that although the price of remnant ad inventory (ie. the price of ads on undifferentiated pages that haven't been sold by the companies direct sales force) has fallen, that hasn't impacted the price the company is getting for the banner ads in premium slots.

    Hope that helps.

    What the Newspaper Industry Could Learn from GM About Do or Die Innovation [view article]
    The fly in the ointment is a 1,000 pound gorilla. What journalist isn't set up for Google alerts for local news? How often is the alert a url to the newspaper's website and a story written by that weary journalist? Proprietary lines are gone. We originate the copy, but we can't protect it. It now add value to Google's or another's product. Ebay is doing the same thing newspaper classifieds do — selling things. The local newspaper peddles it to the local market, eBay peddles it to the world. Where's the value? We should all hope the merger between eBay and Gannett goes well. Reply

    Well lets see, a horribly run company in an even worse business to be in. This company is a left wing propaganda machine hiding behind the press moniker. The only thing that has kept this stock up as opposed to every other paper stock is that the snobs on wall street all actually read this rag and so they think the rest of the country does too. This is what happens when elitist believe that the world thinks like they do. America shops at WalMart, not Neimann Marcus, and does not read the NY Times, get that straight.

    Schulsburger has run this paper into the ground becuase he is a spoiled little rich kid who feels guilty that he will never accomplish anything on his own so he has to be a socialist and bad mouth everything that made his family rich. He should thank each and every stockholder for using their money to try to get Nobama elected.

    Well.. Increasing the newsstand rate by 25 cents is not the answer for the long-term. Shunting 100 jobs also is a temporary fix to the cost structure. May be buying Boston Globe is now looking to be a poor decision. But, NY Times needs to look forward to the digital, network era.

    NY Times and every major newspaper has to figure out a compelling digital business model. The early attempt at charging did not go well because the consumers were not enthused to pay for online content. Just as music industry is slowly coming to grips with a digital business model (orchestrated by Apple), the newspaper industry needs a new business model that has at its core a revenue model that is a mix of advertisement and subscription. The question is will NY Times and others architect such a business model or will it require someone outside to do it. Google News is still in its infancy. So, NY Times has a chance to step up and do something. But, it requires bold moves.. and out-of-the-box thinking. It requires cooperation with other newspapers and a new set of competencies. Will NY Times win? It is a multi-billion dollar question!
