“The New York Times Company bought the Boston Globe in 1993 for $1.1 billion. It just sold it for $70 million. But we must factor in price inflation. At 1993′s prices, the Times Company paid the equivalent of $1.75 billion today. So, the company lost a staggering 96%. This shows where print newspapers are headed: down. This also shows where the New York Times is headed: down. American liberalism has bet the farm on three institutions: newspapers, network television, and the education system. All three are under assault by the Internet. The profits are shrinking for newspapers and network television.”
