Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 1:26pm on Monday, November 16th, 2009 | Survey Says About Half Of All Americans Would Pay For Online News, the New York Times reported on November 15, 2009:
"When asked how much they would pay, Americans averaged just $3 a month, tied with Australia for the lowest figure — and less than half the $7 average for Italians. The other countries included in the study were Germany, France, Spain, Norway and Finland.
“Consumer willingness and intent to pay is related to the availability of a rich amount of free content,” said John Rose, a senior partner and head of Boston Consulting Group's global media practice.
“There is more, better, richer free in the United States than anywhere else.”

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 11:08am on Friday, November 13th, 2009 | Safire Recalled
The Wall Street Journal Reported on November 12, 2009:
"Billed as “a celebration of William Safire,” the service was emceed by Edward Bleier, a former top executive at Warner Bros. At Syracuse University, Bleier and Safire were buddies, along with literary agent Mort Janklow and investment banker Robert Menschel. The men referred to themselves as “the Four Musketeers of Syracuse.” They all remained a tight-knit group throughout their lives.
“Bill refused to accept injustice from any source,” said Max Frankel, executive editor of the Times from 1986 to 1994. Once, Frankel spotted Safire having lunch with Bert Lance, a former Carter White House official. This surprised Frankel since it was Safire’s coverage of Lance’s tenure as the president of a bank in Georgia that, in part, led to his resignation. But Safire showed mercy on the fallen. Frankel (and several others) said that Safire’s mantra was “Kick them when they’re up.”

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 7:45am on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 | Online Video Ads Booming, the New York Times reported on November 10, 2009:
"News Web sites are starting to look a lot less like newspapers and a lot more like television.
CNN.com and ESPN.com are featuring video much more prominently on their home pages, often prompting visitors to press play before they begin to read. Even The Wall Street Journal has moved its video player front and center with a twice-a-day live newscast.
The attention to video mirrors changes in how consumers are experiencing news. Major events — be it the presidential election or the death of Michael Jackson — bring a surge in video stream viewings by new users, and each time some of them stick around."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 8:08am on Monday, November 9th, 2009 | Sorkin at Crossroads of High Finance and News: Right Time, Right Place, or Dangerous Intersection?
New York magazine reported on November 8, 2009:
"For journalists, bad news can be good news. And so, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse last September, as the world’s economy teetered, an all-star roster of business journalists — Roger Lowenstein, Joe Nocera and Bethany McLean — raced to shop book proposals to chronicle the epochal events unfolding on Wall Street and in Washington, D.C.
On the morning of September 23, 2008, Andrew Ross Sorkin, the New York Times’ then-31-year-old star financial reporter, made the rounds to publishers with his agent and his proposal, which he’d pulled together over a weekend. “It was like Paulson’s original tarp proposal,” Sorkin says, referring to the former Treasury secretary. “His was three pages, mine was three pages.”
Sorkin, who started at the Times as an 18-year-old intern, and who founded and edits the Times’ influential DealBook blog and writes a weekly front-page business-section column under the DealBook flag, has cultivated an A-list of Wall Street power players as his sources.
Everyone on Wall Street talks to Sorkin, which makes everyone need to talk to Sorkin. “You never know when you need to go back to the favor bank,” one senior investment banker explained. “Why would a Hank Paulson or a Jamie Dimon or a John Mack pick up the phone and talk to him?” asks one head of communications for a financial institution covered by Sorkin. “They want to hear what everyone else is saying.”
