Nothing like a severe downturn to lend urgency to the task of changing a fading business model. The auto industry will surely look different in a few years. Maybe retail will too. But for really transformative change, consider the media business, where the often painful migration from print to digital distribution continues to gather speed.
On Tuesday, Forbes said it is
merging its online and print sales staffs, and soon its online and print edit staffs.
On Wednesday, Ziff Davis Media Inc. said PC Magazine, once so fat and lucrative, will go
all digital in January.
On Nov. 5, US News & World Report said it would go
all digital except for monthly consumer guides.
And in an interview posted Wednesday at the Editors Weblog, Christian Science Monitor editor in chief John Yemma tells why his paper is
going digital, except for a weekly magazine.
The Deal is part of the trend. The Deal magazine is going from weekly to biweekly, even as we step up our online efforts and emphasize our new, powerful
Pipeline offering. -
