Will social media and the online news machine signal the end to traditional print news?
The New York Times Has not Ended Print but what is their next move? Are the executives still expecting people to fall for paper? “Let’s just wait til this whole Internet thing blows over…”
The great thing about the Times is that they are still in a position to own the news channel. Embrace technology my friends. Take what ever you spend every day on printing paper and go hire 50 developers to program a better content delivery system and make your paper edition a simple marketing teaser.
The New York Times Ends Print Edition (as we know it today) will be the headline on June 18th, 2018. This gives them one decade to save the brand. This will either be a great day or a sad day for them - they decide their future over the next 60 months.
The rest will simply be history.
