News Sites Hustling for Profits: OJR.org has an extensive package of stories on how news sites are trying to get to profitability. Perhaps the most in-depth business story ever done on the state of online news (read newspapers) sites. Topics range from:
–Getting Money in the Coffer: News sites are trying everything from promotional girlie calendars to high- tech ads; most still haven’t found a way to make the Web pay.
–Fiddling the Numbers: The lack of accounting standards makes it impossible to know which news sites are turning a profit.
–How’s Business?: A breakdown of the numbers at a sampling of news sites.
–From Independence to Special Scrutiny: Many news sites are being folded back into parent companies.
