New York Times Out of Print?

The owner of the world’s most self-regarding newspaper has been musing that his NY Times might no longer be in print in five years’ time,

Here’s what Arthur Sulzberger has to say;

“I really don’t know whether we’ll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don’t care either… The Internet is a wonderful place to be, and we’re leading there.”

The Times’s online readership stands at 1.5 million a day besides its 1.1 million subscribers for the print edition.

But Sulzberger seems to think that people will pay to read his news online…. I doubt that somehow. News is a commodity now, and the NY Times doesn’t do it that much better than anyone else.

    It was taken out of text. C’mon will the day ever come when you can’t read the NY Times in print in the mornings,with a nice cup of joe. Try fliping pages with a mouse. Print is here to stay!

    David, I agree with you more or less. I think it will be a long time before electronics come up with anything as nice as paper. But what I am sure about, is that the revenues are flowing away from print to online.
