...attract the subscriptions necessary to survive.
And therein lies their problem.
Is this the death rattle?
They need rabid change. Out with the rabid leftists, in with real reporters.
significant financial challenges = losing their shirts
What the report left out:
PRINT THE TRUTH
“The New York Times has deftly adapted to the demands of digital journalism”
They are writing comedy now.
This story reminds me of the immortal words of Andrew Breitbart:
“It’s not your business model that sucks. It you that sucks.”
By the way, I was a reporter for 25 years — never made the big leagues, but you use the same skills on the Podunk Gazette as on the New York Times.
I take the level of incompetence, bias, and duplicity in today’s media real, real, REAL personally.
If Trump wants to organize a new security agency to clean up media treason, please contact Nothingburger here at Free Republic. I would gladly come out of retirement.
These lies are much more amusing than the usual kind.
nyt: “All the fake that’s news to tint.”
Newspapers have become billionaire blogs.
Bezos bought WaPo so he could be an influence player.
Carlos Slim saved NYT and owns 20%+ so he could pursue the open borders / no wall / cheap labor express Mexican agenda.
Hope both close their doors soon. Complete spin rags now.
Doesn't matter how much lipstick is put on the Old Gray Pig, until it starts reporting the truth instead of advocating liberal propaganda the "newspaper" will continue to decline.
I don’t know, canning Krugman wouldn’t hurt.
As long as the crossword puzzles continue, they can shred the rest of the paper or use it for “bathroom tissue”
Did Dean Baquet ask ‘the ‘seven’ if a recent spike in ‘digital subscriptions’ was a democrat manipulation?
Or was the number real? A number that could help advertisers keep their doors open? Or did ‘the seven’ obsess about silly stuff like minor ‘mistakes’ as opposed to rampant bias?
Part of what newspapers do is deliver their readers to their advertisers... Something that can only happen if ‘readers’ trust the paper enough to keep turning the pages. I suspect there will be more downsizing in the Time’s future...
TO quote the immortal Doctor Raul
Bias = Layoffs
Stop pushing a marxist agenda and I’ll subscribe.
The New York Times proves their steadfast intransigence on a daily basis. They refuse to anything that steps outside of their blind liberal dogma. In that ongoing effort the NYTimes has been wildly successful in building and sustaining and alternate universe for leftists by providing a daily dispensation of its manifesto.
While their followers are legion, they are in fact a minority. Yet the NYTimes has refused to make any changes. They simply dress up and rearrange the same stagnant leftist pabulum and call that change.
Yet in all their ongoing public pronouncements for the need to change, they refuse. Their stock keeps sinking. Foreign investors pour in fresh capital to keep them afloat, they lease their new building, then they abandon and lease out whole floors yet they still can’t make a profit and claim never to know why?
I totally believe that they are committed to circling the drain and collapsing rather than submit themselves to the truth and print it. For decades many have shouted your very obvious problem. You refuse reality. So be it. Will the last one at the NYTimes please turn out the lights and for one last time reduce your final carbon footprint.
maintaining a commitment to high-quality journalism.
HA HA!
Here’s a tip to the NY Times: Hire journalists who report the truth and have no agenda. Then stay out of their way. A good test of your success is you lose 50% of your Manhattan subscriptions.
