New York Times Adherence to the Old-School

New York Times CEO: "We will be printing newspapers for many years to come"


Does the New York times really believe that print is here to stay or are they simply trying to prevent any more cannibalization of their print product by their online offerings? Is the New York Times online keeping current readers from going elsewhere, or simply killing print with increasing speed?

Between the new iPad app, mobile phone apps, NYT online, and DealBook, (the NYT's business news blog) consumers are being given more and more alternatives to the physical newspaper. In this environment, it is no wonder both circulation numbers and ad revenues are declining. Is the New York Times doing everything it can to recapture its lost readership with these other media, or has it missing an emerging news delivery channel? Are they using enough user-generated content or are they simply transferring their old model to the three screens?
