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.”
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption of high places will follow. The money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel more anxiety at this moment for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.
