Times: It’s the Site
NY Times wants to “build a site that can sustain that level of journalism” that supports $250 million budget and 1,200 journalists, says publisher Arthur Sulzberger, answering a question at the Online News Association about whether the Times plans to distribute its info or try to get people to the site.
It’s about “building the NY Times site,” which means, I guess, ads and other revenues that accrue from clicks, and not a more wire service model.
Information “does not yearn to be free. Opinion, quality opinion does not yearn to be free.”
Sulzberger just learned from an audience member that Cheney’s chief of staff Libby was indicted. “What am I doing talking to you?” he jokes, meaning he’ll have to head back to the office, I guess.
