If only the US could elect Barack Obama president every day, the American newspaper industry wouldnt be in so much trouble. As it is, however, advertising at newspapers both print and online has been dropping like a rock the past few years according to

Dead-Tree Editions Sell Out

Dead-Tree Editions Sell Out By Corey Kilgannon People waiting outside the New York Times Building Wednesday afternoon to buy the paper, after 50,000 additional copies were printed. (Photo: Earl Wilson/The New York Times) Update | 2:50 p.m. If you were an early bird who likes news the old-fashioned way, you probably got your election results served up properly, with ink on newsprint — but if you slept late Wednesday morning, the news at many newsstands was that there was no News. No Daily News, that is. And no New York Times or New York Post, either.

Live Blog: Changing Media Landscape at Columbia University
http://www.runningdesign.com/2008/11/11/live-blog-changing-m...8:28 p.m. Question for Erica Smith: Do you track hiring online? She says it was hard to determine if positions were filled or just dropped. 8:25 p.m. Question: What is the revenue model for Slate? Is it profitable? Weisberg: Key costs (i.e. printing on paper) are reduced with online content and that’s been born out. He says his business is doing well but says the lawyers won’t let him say if they’re profitable.

Monday Kneecapp'd Recap
http://snobber.blogspot.com/2008/11/monday-kneecappd-recap.h...On Mondays I generally feel like I've been hit by a mack truck and lack sufficient brain power to write a coherent post. That said, it makes me sad to see the blog go un-updated, so I've decided to introduce a set of links into the fold every Monday, under the heading: Monday Kneecapp'd Recap . [...]

《纽约时报》的特大标题
http://www.ruanyifeng.com/blog/2008/11/the_biggest_headlines...我已经不想再谈奥巴马了，但是《纽约时报》的惊人之举却不能不提。 2008年11月6日，奥巴马当选的第二天，《纽约时报》的头版标题用了96磅的字体。 这是《纽约时报》历史上第五次用96磅的标题。前四次分别是： 1. 1969年7月21日，人类登月成功。 2. 1974年8月8日，尼克松辞职。 3. 2000年1月1日，新的千年期。 4. 2001年9月12日，911事件。 说实话，我不太能理解，为什么《纽约时报》给了奥巴马这么高的待遇，他真的有这么重要吗？……不过，当天美国其他700多家报纸的头版也是类似的布局，点击查看。 这一天的《纽约时报》被抢购一空，加印了75000份，还是供不应求。这在互联网时代，真是不可思议的事情。没有买到报纸的人，在报社大楼外排起了长队。 一位记者写下了当天早上的见闻： “People want it as a souvenir,” said Rose Barmas, who runs a newsstand at Broadway and 116th Street.
