Chart asking what newspapers do online: 24% say nothing
This is the Silicon Alley Insider’s Chart Of The Day:
About a quarter of newspapers remain in “the dark ages” according to Silicon Alley Insider (see bottom bar for “none at this time”). But with current layoffs and consolidations being what they are, the question may well be, how much is there to share?
“The American Press Institute asked 2,400 newspaper executives if their papers “provide access to stories or information such as sports scores, headlines, stock quotes, etc.,” via Twitter, Facebook, Email alerts, Mobile/PDA, YouTube, Kindle, Flickr, e-readers, etc., and told them to “check all that apply.”
As the chart below shows, a whopping 24% of all respondents answered “None at this time.” Bizarre.”
“Political tags, such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth, are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.”
