Some stats about the online version of the Daily Camera, from the June 8, 2009 issue of the newspaper:

"DailyCamera.com, BroomfieldEnterprise.com, ColoradoDaily.com and Buffzone.com have more than 212,600 registered users and attract more than 3 million page views and 550,000 unique visitors every month, half of whom are locals."

I subjected the Boulder Sunday Camera to a scientific experiment on April 26, 2009. Having been curious to know how much of the paper is devoted to advertising vs. editorial content, I cleverly dissected the newspaper into its constituent parts. The results? About 0.4 pounds of editorial and 1.1 pounds of advertising. And that is being generous, as I counted any section with any news as being all news, which of course isn't the case.

While I sometimes look at some of the advertising, it seems like a huge waste of money and trees.

The following day, April 27, Camera Vice President of Marketing & Advertising Jill Stravolemos wrote in the paper: "If I read one more obituary about the death of the newspaper industry I'll scream." It would appear that if the newspaper industry is dying, the doctors in charge have decided to amputate the editorial to save it. Wait... that sound in the distance, is it the plaintive wailing of Ms. Stravolemos?

I agree about the camera being an open resource, it makes sense though, considering it's Boulder; they don't call it "The People's Republic" for nothing. :-) I'm not sure about sections you may be missing though, since I usually get my news from NPR, the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC and of course, the greatest news source in America: the Onion.

I rarely read the Camera, usually picking up Colorado Daily or Boulder Weekly being that they are free. I did go to a seminar for introduction to PR that they offered and was impressed by the Camera's willingness to really interact with the public. Wonder if anyone has any comments about what section or reporters I may be missing out on by not reading?
