Here's the internal memo at North Jersey Media Group |
From: Borg, Stephen
Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008
Subject: Leaving Hackensack/Moving to the field
We are in the midst of great change. Classified advertising revenues are falling fast. Some of it is due to the economy. But much of it is secular. Ads won’t return to the print newspapers even when the economy gets better. Getting this revenue back on the web dollar for dollar won’t happen. We are competing against non-news site for eyeballs, hence, ad dollars. Our competition is not merely other newspaper sites. Even for the ads we get, the web rates are much lower than those of print ads.
We must reinvent ourselves. |
