New York Times executives told employees that readers will bear more of the burden for producing the paper and that they will continue to embrace print despite the shift in cost burden

Dream on NYT pukes. Take a look at the WarshPost ~ it's rapidly moving toward the FREE REPUBLIC copyrighted format and structure!
Hey, if you could crank the WarshPost into a FRAMES structure, it'd look like FR back in the mid 1990s.
Print isn't quite dead, but it will be used mostly for SEUI and ACORN parade posters in the future.
They are going broke, they know it, and they want to print news so they can get a stimulus, like GM...and like the banks.
Bravo NYT stick to your guns! It is my opinion and I intend to purchase a large block of stock in a Horse & Buggy Company once I stop typing!

I certainly prefer print. But that’s just me. I don’t like videos that take the place of a printed article. I prefer print, but I prefer to get it on my screen as opposed to thrown in my driveway seven days a week.
I’m not sure how to describe it, but somehow video seems to deprive me of my control over getting the information from a story. With video I am forced to use the reporter’s opinion of what I should know. I much prefer to be able to scan an article and skip the parts I don’t care about.
With video if there’s a pearl somewhere in the report I might well miss it rather than sit through the whole report being forced to pay attention to the parts I would just skip in print.
And, with video I am being subjected to both the reporter’s personality and delivery plus the writing style. At least in print I’m not having to put up with some pretty face that thinks being cute and perky is the way to deliver a story.
Maybe it’s just me, but I seldom take the time to go the video route. I’m getting old and my family tells me I’m getting much more opinionated as I age. My message to them is simply, deal with it!
Only after the toilet paper runs out.
The only time I prefer NYT in print is to line my bird’s cage!
Unbelievable.
I happen to represent one of the largest concerns marketing big, black, rotory phones...perhaps I could interest you? And I have full lines of Betamax, eight-track tapes, and 45-rpm records!

On the screen, yes.
It might be more accurate to say that you prefer text. Print has the specific connotation of ink and paper.
Same here, but our avoidance actually makes sense. Print is random access, video is sequential access. Which do you prefer - CD's (random access) or tape (sequential access), ignoring the sound quality difference? Who in their right mind, in the busy modern world, wastes time waiting to get to the part you want to see?
Another baghdad bob.

Sqwaak! Polly wants the Times. Polly wants the Times.
Even if “readers embrace print”, isn't a printed newspaper in this era of “carbon footprints”, immoral, by the Times’ own, left-wing standards? I wonder how much more evil carbon is emitted each day to produce the print version of the Slimes, as compared to the “footprint” of a strictly digital version.
I bet at least 8 polar bears and 42 penguins die each day, to print and distribute the Times. :-)

Dead fish like to roll in it too.
