New York Times Cash Situation Still Critical (Out of cash in 1 year)
Business Insider ^ | 4/21/09 | Henry Blodget|

As expected, the New York Times's business operations began burning cash this quarter (until now, they had remained cash-flow positive). The company has recently made several wise moves that have postponed the date at which it will run out of cash. But the situation is still critical.

At the current rate of cash consumption, assuming no one-time expenses (highly unlikely), we estimate that the company will max out its current borrowing capacity in 4 quarters.

HOW MANY TREES WOULD BE SAVED EVERY YEAR IF THE NEW YORK SLIMES CEASED TO EXIST?!

What a gift Punch could give to the world: he could stop polluting minds with his worthless newscopy AND he could give new life to millions of trees!!

Hey, Mayor Bloomberg good job.

life imitating art? (or is it the other way around)

Who needs a nuclear holocaust when we have the cancer of liberalism to destroy our cities.

***************************************************
I respectfully disagree ,, announcing that you expect to borrow $$$$ for the next several quarters with no plan to become profitable just reduced the possibility of borrowing during that timeframe to nil.

I live for the day that the NYT calls it quits and actually goes out of business and dies. The NYT has ceased printing factual, truth and real news for decades now. It finally caught up with them and now they are paying the heavy price for all such behavior as well they should. The NYT no longer deserves the once great reputation they once had. They have nobody to blame but themselves. To the HYT: die all you !@#$%^&*!

The good news is that 2nd quarter ad revenue will be down 25% versus prior year and Pinch’s gay parade will be cash flow negative again. Things will only get worse in 3rd Quarter and beyond.

Expect wholesale layoffs of newsroom personnel in August and December.

And expect the Mexican Loan Shark to boot Pinch the homo by next March.
