While speaking at a conference in London, chairman and publisher of The New York Times Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. made a major statement about the future of his publication: "We will stop printing The New York Times sometime in the future, date TBD."
He was there to talk about the changing journalistic business model and to touch on the Times' upcoming metered paywall for online content, but it was his concession about the bleak outlook for the print edition of the paper that's become the major news.

What are all the young sophisticates going to do on Sunday morning in NYC? Currently (according to the movies and contemporary literature) they lounge around their apartments and work the crossword puzzle while sipping their lattes.
They may have to start going to church for entertainment!

I never pass up the opportunity to call the NYT ‘comics.’
