And yet they insult the blogs!
"Newspaper publishers, facing some of the worst economic conditions in years, yesterday said they hope to bring more readers - and ad spending - to their websites with expanded offerings of news, advertising, and video.
Galling!
The newspaper industry has been struggling as a dismal housing market weighs heavily on real estate and other types of print advertising. As Donald Graham, chief executive of The Washington Post Co., put it: "2007 was not a good year for anybody in the newspaper business."
That's because AMERIKA'S ZIONIST-CONTROLLED PAPERS LIE like a RUG!!!!
But Graham said his company was hopeful about expanding its audience online, particularly as the 2008 presidential election approaches. That, he said, should play to the Post's strengths in political reporting as well as at the company's online magazine, Slate.
No! We are not coming on here to read your crap! I got blogs to get to, assholes!
At McClatchy Co., the nation's third-largest newspaper publisher by circulation, CEO Gary Pruitt said online advertising growth was "stunted" in 2007. The executives were speaking at a conference sponsored by UBS.
Chris Hendricks, McClatchy's head of online operations, called the company's 0.8 percent growth in online ad revenue in the year-to-date period through October disappointing, but said McClatchy was optimistic about converting more of its online traffic into ad dollars next year. In October, he noted, unique visitors to McClatchy websites jumped 23 percent over the same month a year earlier, to 21 million.
Part of McClatchy's optimism stems from a deal with Yahoo Inc., which has enlisted hundreds of newspapers in a national consortium aimed at boosting traffic to newspaper websites and enabling them to sell more ads by using Yahoo's technology to target very specific categories of users.
MSM "news" business is NOT NEWS!
It is a BUSINESS!
SELLING ADVERTS!!!!
Some publishers have other businesses to fall back on. At The Washington Post Co., revenue from the Kaplan education businesses will be a majority of sales next year, Graham said.
Gannett Co., the number one newspaper publisher, also has a significant broadcasting business.
Yeah, because the CIA funds them! Called STATE MEDIA!!!!!
Gannett's flagship USA Today, meanwhile, is expected to report a decline of 6 to 7 percent in revenue this year versus last year. Some declines were expected, but the downturn was far worse than originally believed, said Craig Moon, USA Today's publisher.
E.W. Scripps Co.'s chief financial officer, Joe NeCastro, told the conference the company was still on track to separate its cable network businesses - which include HGTV, Food Network, and DIY - from its local newspaper and TV stations by mid-2008.
The cable networks were expected to see revenue growth of 8 to 10 percent next year, while newspaper revenues would fall in the low single-digit percentage range.
The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, declined to give revenue or earnings forecasts for the next year, saying the situation was too uncertain.
That bad a year for you, huh, Times?
Hey, that's what you get when you SHOVEL SHIT!
Part of MOCKINGBIRD, are we, Times?!
Looks like you'll be consolidating more outlets, and further narrowing the debate in this country:
Chairman says FCC will let newspapers own TV stations
"Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin told Congress he expects to quickly pass a proposal to let daily newspapers own TV stations in large markets. That may help struggling newspapers, he told a House Telecommunications subcommittee.
Representative Edward Markey, the Massachusetts Democrat who heads the committee, and others have asked the FCC to delay a Dec. 18 vote and a Senate committee voted to require a longer review period. Martin, a Republican, said he would move ahead.
Michael Copps, one of the two Democratic FCC commissioners, at the hearing:
"This is just nuts. We are rushing in to encourage more consolidation without addressing the real damage consolidation has caused."
Martin said he aims to "forestall the erosion of local newsgathering."
That last line is so absurd it isn't worthy of comment!
"News" in this country has been destroyed!
It is ALL STATE PROPAGANDA NOW!!!!!
Forest Loss in Sumatra Becomes a Global Issue
Hey, you are destroying his home!
And when the NYT quits censoring and rewriting their stories, I will quit buying newspapers and start taking them seriously!
Actually, why don't you just pack up, Times?
WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE! We have the blogosphere now!
Yup, a NEWSPAPER pushing the DEFORESTATION PROBLEM!
THAT is why I don't buy the environmental "solutions" they are offering!
Part of a WIDER AGENDA -- and NOT FOR YOU and ME, readers!
And since the globalists control the government and media, we get federal insertion over local issues:
Court Rejects Rule Easing Restrictions on Logging
E.P.A. Is Prodded to Require Cuts in Airliner Emissions
Senate Panel Passes Bill to Limit Greenhouse Gases
"Lexi Shultz, Washington representative for climate policy at the Union of Concerned Scientists:
“But if it’s really going to do the job it needs to get stronger. If we are to have a fighting chance to avoid the worst effects of climate change, the United States has to cut emissions by 80 percent from current levels by the middle of the century.”
Yup, 80% emission reduction and 80% POPULATION REDUCTION!!!
And I DON'T LIKE IT!!!!
Senator Barbara Boxer, the California Democrat who is chairwoman of the environment committee, called the vote the greatest accomplishment of her 30-year political career.
This is your greatest accomplishment? A bill the president is going to veto?
Ms. Boxer, in an interview after the vote:
“This vote is a historic moment for my country. It is a signal that America is finally taking bold steps to avert a catastrophe for our children and grandchildren.”
Considering the police state and martial law coming down the pike, we got more important problems to take care of now -- and we are DOING THIS for the KIDS!
Ms. Boxer also noted that representatives of 190 nations are gathering in Indonesia this week to talk about steps to follow the Kyoto climate accords when they expire in 2012. She said the committee’s passage of the bill sent a signal to that meeting that the United States was serious about meeting its responsibilities."
Yup, AIPAC Barbara the Globalist!
Actually, they didn't put it on the web!
Has my point been made or what, readers?
Hey, I'm for ALL LIFE!!
There is PLENTY of RESOURCES on this planet for ALL LIFE FORMS -- if the GLOBALIST ENSLAVERS would QUIT LOOTING and DESTROYING IT!
