NYT exec Nisenholtz discusses the Gray Lady's premium content move, About acquisition and growth in RSS
SiliconValleyWatcher.com: NYT exec Nisenholtz discusses the Gray Lady's premium content move, About acquisition and growth in RSS: "As a result of this increasing RSS use, the percentage of Times online visitors accessing the site by the front door will shrink from the current 85%. 'This has real ramifications,' he said. 'The Times as a newspaper considers itself an organizing principle for the world - all newspapers feel that way. There's an editorial sensibility that print publications bring that organizes the world. As we see the content become unbundled from the organizing principle, what's the new organizing principle? The standard answer is the individual, but I'm not sure that the right answer. There's a demand also for a shared sensibility with the rest of the world and serendipity,' as well as user-filtered content."
