SXSW 2012 - Media Armageddon: What Happens When the New York Times Dies

Media Armageddon: What Happens When the New York Times Dies
Event	Interactive 2010
Format	Panel
Organizer	Henry Copeland – Blogads.com
Description	We've entered The Last Days of Media. Traditional publishers' economics can't stand up against the overwhelming volume of new content and ad inventory being manufactured by the likes of blogs, Facebook, Myspace, Craigslist et al. What will New York City and the nation look like without the New York Times?
Questions Answered	What does the supply/demand curve look like for advertising? What articles in the Times will subscribers NOT buy unbundled? How much money is the Times losing quarterly? Might the Times' support it's 1000 journalists in a web only model? What players might arise to fill the news hole left post Times? What players might expand to fill the news hole left post Times? How many newspapers did NYC have in 1900? Why did they all vanish? Why has it taken a decade for media to realize scarcity is dead? What parts of NYT can we NOT live without? Should Craig feel guilty? :)
