Why the New York Times Won't Cease Printing

Excuse me, typo in my last comment. I meant that until the Internet can replace the newspaper in that sense, then NYT will be fine.

Why the New York Times Won't Cease Printing

Despite how NYT has been doing on its balance sheet, I do still believe they have a large market. Yes, companies are buckling up on advertising costs, which makes up a bulk of the NYT profits. On the other hand, while the Internet is a completely accessible and easier-to-read news source, many people are still loyal to the actual newspaper. It's not just about the news, or the fashion, magazine, crossword, etc. that Smarty mentioned. When you're commuting somewhere, how would you get access to the Internet, for example? Not everyone is connected everywhere... yet. I think that until the Internet can replace the newspaper in that sense (complete omnipresence), then the NYT will be facing a crisis.
