The Future of The Times
Businessweek has a lengthy and interesting article about how The New York Times is doing. Answer: they're in a bit of a trough at the moment. I admire the Times for believing that “quality journalism pays in the long run.” I think they're right.
I also think Jeff Jarvis and Jay Rosen and Dan Gillmor are right that blogs and citizen journalism are important and transformative. I think the Times will figure out its relationship to the online world eventually, and it will be a more interesting one than exists right now.
I'd pay for the Times online. Dan Gillmor asks: would you pay?
