Omslagpunt bereikt: LATimes online bekostigt online+offline

Belangrijk moment: De LA Times kan met online revenuen de volledige personeelskosten dekken van de off- en online redactie. Oftewel, een ommekeer is bereikt, zo weet Jeff Jarvis in deze post te vertellen.

"Note well this moment in the history - and I do mean history - of newspapers: the editor of the Los Angeles Times, Russ Stanton, said the paper's online advertising revenue is now sufficient to cover the Times's entire editorial payroll, print and online. "Given where we were five years ago, I don't think anyone thought that would ever happen," he said in email. "But that day is here." The same day has arrived for at least one more major US newspaper. What this tells me is that we are on the cusp of the moment when online revenue could sustain a substantial digital journalistic enterprise without the onerous cost of printing and distribution. Hallelujah."

Zouden de Nederlandse dagbladen ook dat omslagpunt kunnen bereiken wanneer ongeveer de helft van de medewerkers op de payroll ontslagen worden?
