Dvorak and company do a dead pulp postmortem
As we continue our death of pulp coverage, former newspaper writer and current tech pundit John C. Dvorak did a postmortem on the death of the print mews industry on the most recent Cranky Geeks program. Click here to view an excerpt focused on newspapers. Most interesting is how guest John Markoff, Senior Writer of The New York Times defiantly defends the incredibly poor decision making of his company’s management.

An interesting discourse that totally avoided the fundamental problem — infrastructure costs of pulp is anywhere from 6-9x that of electronic content. The pulp guys can try to run away from it but their lenders will not let them forget.
The other item not touched on was quality of product. All I will say is one name — Jason Blair — leave it at that.
