For Journophiles Only Dept.
The eminent Walter Pincus — "grizzled yet spry" — tells us what's wrong. I think David Simon has been sitting at his knee. For those of you looking for someone to deflate Pincus' right-on analysis, read down in comments to "young" Bill Dedman's take. Then a little further to learn that "computer assisted" guru Dedman needs to go back to his calculator. I'm betting Dedman's put all his eggs in the Internet basket and it's not paying off, is it?
Where's all that advertising money go now, anyway?
Somebody answer that one.

If there are 20 million unique visitors a month, as Pincus says, then Dedman's math is right:
ReplyDeleteIf each one comes to the site once a month, that would indeed be 667,000 visits a day. That's the figure Pincus picks. That's less than the newspaper's daily print circulation.
But if each one comes to the site 10 times a month, that would be 200 million visits a month, or 6,666,666 a day. Or about seven times the paper's daily print circulation. That seems about right.
I just wanted to be fair. Personally, I'm not counting. Bill Dedman knows as well as anyone that the tubes ain't supporting him and probably never will. Hell, they don't even support me. Me!
ReplyDeleteAfterthought.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bill, what about the question: Where is all that advertising money going anyway?
