Shut it down now, Save the Trees!!!!

[Ben Mugged]

the most respected newspaper in the world

An overinflated sense of self-worth if you ask me.......

[OB1kNOb]

Arthur Sulzberger, owner, chairman and publisher of the most respected newspaper in the world..........this may explain why Sulzberger does not talk with the press.

How delightfully ironic!

[IronJack]

Why would anyone be interested in his vision of the new world? This is a guy who hasn't responded to market demands at all, resulting in the imminent collapse of his flagship product. Asking Pinch for advice about the news biz is like asking Wrong Way Corrigan for directions.

I wonder how many subscribers the NYT gets for its on-line Select Service? Can't be very many.... The only reason I ever buy the hardcopy edition is for the crossword. The left-wing slant and PC garbages permeates even the sports section. Selena Roberts and William Rhoden? Ugh!

death watch ping!

"Advertisers always press harder for better deals and influence over content," Sulzberger says. But the New York Times has nothing to apologize for and no reason to fold, "as long as I'm sure that what we wrote and what we're about to write is right."

Of course it doesn't matter what you feed the public is TRUE or not, as long as it is "right" according to your opinion!!!

[trisham]

I don't care if they chisel it in granite. I won't read the propanganda-ridden NYT.

[dandelion]

Yay! No more New York Times!! YAY!!!

Oh... wait... now what will we use for toilet paper??

[EyeGuy]

In which the Democrat Party Times turns Marshall McLuhan on his head, by implying that it is the newsprint MEDIUM and not their anti-American leftist MESSAGE that is the problem.

[SevenofNine]

Shut that damn newspaper down

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

"Quick, save the deck chairs!"

[shrinkermd]

"..."I really don't know whether we'll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care either," he says...

I don't imagine his employees feel the same way as the statement above.

He intends to charge for the Internet version of the NYT. Good luck.

This Pinch fellow has taken his business and thrown it under the bus. He feels he has accomplished a lot if he defeats the US and President Bush. What a price for all to pay!

"I really don't know whether we'll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care either," he says.

[george76]

Will it be free?

No, Sulzberger says. If you want to read the New York Times online, you will have to pay.

[george76]

the scandal about Jayson Blair, the reporter caught plagiarizing and fabricating, hurt the brand, not the business, he says.
