    Columnists are struggling to survive in today's media landscape. At best, they are hanging in there. Only about 20% are actual employees of newspapers rather than free-lance writers. Some columnists are writing blogs and books instead. But, like we mentioned in class last week, it is very very difficult to generate income from blog writing.

New York Times to Charge Frequent Readers of Web Site - NYTimes.com - 0 views

NYTimes Times Select Failure Newspaper economics media industry subscriber online news

shared by kkholland on 21 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Starting in early 2011, visitors to NYTimes.com will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a flat fee for unlimited access. Subscribers to the newspaper’s print edition will receive full access to the site without extra charge.
  • But executives of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading. They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and reader demand.
  • Still, publishers fear that income from digital subscriptions would not compensate for the resulting loss of audience and advertising revenue.

  • from 2005 to 2007 the newspaper’s TimesSelect service charged for access to editorials and columns. TimesSelect attracted about 210,000 subscribers who paid $49.95 a year, but it was scrapped to take advantage of the boom in online advertising.
  • “This is a bet, to a certain degree, on where we think the Web is going,” Mr. Sulzberger said. “This is not going to be something that is going to change the financial dynamics overnight.”
  • Two specialized papers already charge readers: The Wall Street Journal, which makes certain articles accessible only to subscribers, and The Financial Times, which allows nonpaying readers to see up to 10 articles a month, a system close to what is planned by The Times.

    Michael Roston think the New York Times is onto something with the new model they introduced yesterday, but believes that articles written to protect the public interest musn't charge if it to achieve it's goal. "Presumably, the New York Times still produces reported news that looks out to protect the public interest. If that news is being produced, it should be available to the public, regardless of whether or not they pay for it. It's difficult to educate members of the public about really important things they need to be aware of when you're hitting them up for a $3 day pass or something"

Chinese Media, Bloggers Ask: Is Google Really Saying Goodbye? - NAM - 0 views

google china censorship leaving bloggers cyberattack

shared by kkholland on 17 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Google said on Tuesday that it was considering shutting down Google.cn and closing its offices in China after a cyber attack on its corporate infrastructure resulted in intellectual property loss. Google also said it would stop censoring search results on Google.cn. For the first time, reports and images of the Tiananmen Square massacre and other events could be seen through Google searches in China.
  • Chinese American media rushing to provide their analysis in the context of U.S.-China relations. “Google, Don’t become a tool in the political fight between the U.S. and China” read the headline of an editorial published Friday in China Press. “Though Obama tried to adapt to China’s increasingly powerful role in the world with a new attitude and said the United States would not repress China’s development, the differences in ideology between the countries continue to prohibit the U.S.-China relationship from moving forward,” the editorial argued.
  • “If the Chinese government just let it go, Google could stop its financial losses in China, which would be beneficial to its share price. If the Chinese government is willing to compromise, Google will become the ‘hero’ that breaks China’s strict control over Internet information.” Chinese investors, Leung noted, believe the absence of Google will actually benefit the local Internet market; the stock prices of Chinese Internet companies rose right after the announcement was made.

  • Editors of the World Journal said they were happy to see Google defend the freedom of online information without censorship, describing it as “an act of courage.” A popular column in World Journal contends that it is time for the Chinese government to change in order to develop into a truly strong country. “A real strong country is not just strong economically,” the column argues. “It also needs development in people’s values, in order to build a healthy and principled system, and abolish the current zero-tolerance policy on dissident expression.”
  • An editorial written by Feng Lei of Guangzhou’s Southern Metropolis Daily doubts if Beijing is willing to let go of Google. “A company like Google not only serves as a technology leader in China’s domestic market, but also, by virtue of its presence, has a ‘catfish effect’ [raising overall performance in the industry]. Without this presence and effect, there will be a definite impact on the development of the industry domestically.”
  • A news analysis in China Times describes the announcement as a tactic for Google to gain more freedom in China.
  • The most popular blogger in China, Han Han, also expressed his support for Google. He wrote on his blog, “I understand Google’s decision, whether it is for real or not. What I don’t understand is that some Web sites conducted surveys saying that 70 percent of Internet users do not support Google’s request that the Chinese government stop its censorship. While looking at these survey results on the government Web site, you often find yourself on the opposite side,” adding that these Web sites should be the ones to be censored.
  • A blog on Baidu.com, Google’s biggest competitor in China, said, “The tone of the top Google legal advisor disgusts me. He could have said that they are withdrawing for economic reasons, plain and simple. Instead, they have to make themselves look good by saying that Google was attacked by Chinese people, that Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents were attacked, and so on in order to explain why they are withdrawing from China. This type of tone is an insult to the intelligence of ordinary Chinese citizens.”
  • The reason Google is having a hard time in China, she argued, is that there is a mismatch between American ideology and Chinese management style. “In the Chinese market, Google has no intention of adjusting itself to adapt to the Chinese situation, but works according to its own ideology,” she writes. “That’s why, under media exposure during the anti-pornography campaign, Google could barely handle the situation and had to change its leadership in China.”

    Network television and cable networks have a bright future, despite the inroads of TiVo and the threat of free video on the Web. And book publishers may also see growth in the years ahead, if they can learn to relax and love the e-reader. Newspapers, however, can pretty much pack it in.

    A group of experts examine the environmental impact of print media versus electronic media. Counter-intuitive findings. It may be (not for sure though) that newspapers are actually a greener option. They use recycled paper, whereas using the computer uses energy and contributes to e-waste. This just doesn't seem right...
