If Apple snapped its fingers and transformed the print industry tomorrow, its 30-percent take of worldwise circulation revenue would be $10.2 billion. That’s a fantastical number, of course: No fingers can be snapped, not all print readers will transition, pricing will change, and so on. But we ...
It's a tough dance, and one that conservatives love to watch. I'm struck by how different the dance is in the UK, another English-speaking country with a fairly decent history of democracy and free press. There, the Guardian -- which is now getting a global profile for its work, courtesy of its ...

Bewkes is on to something all savvy media execs should get. The customer wants the technology -- and the platform of delivery -- to be transparent. We want what we want, and we don't want to be nickel-and-dimed along the way. Single pricing, what I've called ''all-access pricing" across, ...
Why it's a big story: 1) The size of the gift. $1 million.
2) The size of Rupert Murdoch's presence in the news world.
3) The size of Fox News in the political news landscape.

So who's the ad competition? Maybe we should ask, who isn't? ...The question, here, is one of sustainability. Certainly, there's the question whether Patch can sustain itself, as its parent AOL struggles to find a new identity and growing business model. Then, there's the question of the ...
