(Zu den Beratern gehört übrigens Blogger Jeff Jarvis, Autor von “Was würde Google tun?”.) Tim Armstrong bemüht sich in einem Rundschreiben an die Angestellten allerdings um Transparenz und hat eine Regelung angekündigt, nach der er nur sein investiertes Kapital in Form von AOL-Aktien (ein Börsengang ist ja geplant, um den Internetkonzern von Time Warner wieder zu trennen) bekommen solle.

TheAlternativePress.com is New Jersey’s all-online daily hyperlocal newspaper now serving 10 municipalities in New Jersey, including Patch’s hometurf of Millburn. We have received over 10,000,000 hits since we launched in October and have significant paid advertising from local businesses. With over 100 paid reporters and nearly 20 columnists, all of whom live in New Jersey, we are able to provide local news and information from the locals themselves in a professional, objective manner.
