The major source of revenue for newspapers is still advertising but, I guess when that source is drying up......well there you have it.
The interesting thing is that newspapers have been padding their circ numbers for YEARS and gouging advertisers. It is egregious.
Simply google “newspaper circulation scandal” and you will have plenty of information on all that has come down about this. Not only are they disgusting from a bias standpoint but more disgusting as unethical businesses.

If the NY Times should ever close its doors, what will the networks do for news stories? They could just open up the Washington ComPost and read it on the air.

You know, someone should tell Rush this is a great business opportunity here.
He would love this kind of stick it in your face publicity.
He could become a mega media mogul... Could you imagine the headlines? The libs would have a heart attack on camera.

A surefire way for the NYTimes to get some of their readers back is to shun an opinion piece by McCain after running Obama’s opinion piece. They need to think about doing that. I think it will really help boost their circulation.

Is Soros going to buy the NYT just to make it an even worse propaganda machine?

I’m sure the camel jockeys will step up with a bail out at any moment....
They can rename it the “Camel Dung Daily”....
To: x_plus_one
How would it be possible for them to become more of a propaganda machine?

Can someone in the newspaper business help me out? I thought the number of pages which a newspaper printed was based on the number of ads in that issue. When the ad revenue was down, the newspaper compensated by printing fewer pages.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I would love to see the end of the NY Slimes in my lifetime.

Fire Pinch! Those damned liberal Sulzbergers wouldn't be here except by marriage to my stupid offsping...I should have listened to my Confederate mother, stayed in the South, and never bought the Slimes in the first place. Damn it!

And the best part is these people still dont have a clue why this is happening. I have no doubt that they do know why it's happening. But, their liberal agenda is more important and they will sacrifice the news and the truth to elect liberals to government. It's a sacrifice they're willing to make.

I find difficulty in coming up with the words to describe how pleased I am to be seeing the NYT in a death rattle.
So, I am left with......YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA.

You got me all excited with the 82% drop alert. That is, unfortunately, not true. Technically, your point has merit, but if so, then all it means is their results from this quarter last year were 'not true'...that's the great thing about a ledger sheet...it always catches up to the truth, eventually.
No matter how you look at it, their business is declining rapidly along with the rest of their "peers".
