Editor & Publisher reports that top newspaper web sites saw huge increases in unique viewership over the past year. No surprise but the numbers are impressive.
In a not-unrelated (in my view) move, here's an interactive map showing newspaper layoffs across America. It lists "4,490+" layoffs and buyouts.
Time magazine reports on the "boundrary between old and new media" becoming "porous." Nothing new here, but it's another example of recognition of what's changed in the news business.
Meanwhile, Rupurt Murdock tells the Guardian that he wants to make the Wall Street Journal "the best in the world." Funny, I thought it was before virtually all the top editors when he took over left (we can't say they were pushed out -- but they're all gone, along with lots of the top reporters). He also said he was "surprised" at how "cooperative the vast majority of the journalists have been." Meanwhile, the new editor has "reorganized" the WSJ news leadership "team."
