That merits another question. Would tv viewers pay for a premium cable channel if they still had to watch commercials?]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 09:05:55 -0400

Newspapers missed the boat because they remained in denial for so long when it came the internet. For example, when Craig's List started eating their lunch, they increased classified rates. For too long, all efforts went to convincing advertisers why they should continue paying outrageous rates instead of enticing new subscribers with quality content ...which would have forced the advertisers' hand anyway.

You need a lot of resources to produce content that people are willing to pay for and that is something newspapers no longer have.]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:15:42 -0400

I personally know a few advertisers that are now laughing at our local newspaper's downfall. Why? They still remember the old days when we would essentially tell them to either pay our outrageous rates or go advertise somewhere else. Well ...they did.]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:53:49 -0400

I couldn't agree more. That bullet train left the station a long time ago yet newspapers are still trying to catch up to it with the same old steam engine chugging down the same old track.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 08:19:17 -0500

As far as the oil companies, I like Pelosi's idea because we, including myself, only worry about oil prices when they're high yet forget about the future when they're low. High oil prices obviously have a direct impact on our economy. Now we have both congress and the president fairly close to being on the same page and quite frankly, I'm all for getting us away from our dependence.

And I'd like to ask, how do you feel about all those other little ancillary people that aren't journalists but make their living working for a newspaper? It is out of touch people like you that have made the newspaper irrelevant. Are you related to W?

"The newspaper industry is notorious for copying each others’ design, circulation and advertising tips..." seems to be the current strategy for "escaping the complacency of the past four decades." The bad thing is, they don't have anybody to copy.]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:20:27 -0400

Free press? LOL!!! We risk losing that little piece in the Bill of Rights all because these idiots are more concerned about not offending their advertisers than making people aware of what's really going on. They've sold their soul for increased revenues.

Now that they've lost the readers' trust, Gannett and the rest can put a fork in it, too little, too late!

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...
