The Times Will (Eventually) Be a Changin'

The future of newspapers is, at best, uncertain. And comments made by New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger yesterday—also noted in a previous post—really drove that point home. Sulzberger entertained the idea that the dead-tree version of the storied publication may soon be a thing of the past:

'I really don't know whether we’ll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care, either.'

Sulzberger said the Times is funneling more of its funds into its website , a trend for newspapers throughout the nation. The rare interview with the notoriously press shy publisher shed some light on the minds of media moguls these days. Sulzberger suggested the future of the Times is on the web and that the company is moving toward publishing exclusively online.
