Newsweek Owner Says Magazine Will Eventually Shift Online

Quote
Newsweek will eventually transition to an online publication, owner IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) said today, marking the beginning of the end for the magazine’s 79-year run as a print weekly.

IAC Chairman Barry Diller made the announcement during a quarterly earnings conference call, saying the New York-based company aims to curb investments in the money-losing business. Still, he stopped short of saying it would be a “total” shift to the Internet.

If Newsweak goes strictly online then they will either provide copyrighted material from other sources or charge for their content and go out of business or both.

The papermill near here that makes newspaper paper and the slick magazine paper is a skeleton of it's former self. The local paper this morning says they're laying off a bunch of salaried and others immediately and more over the next month or so.

When you think about what it once was and what it is now...and expand lost jobs  to include loggers, logging equipment sales, truck drivers, etc.....it's a lot of other jobs and it hurts.

The company operating the US magazine Newsweek indicated Wednesday the venerable publication is likely to go digital to stem its losses and could undergo other changes by next year.

Diller told a conference call that the Harman family, which had been part of the news operation, had pulled out following the death of magnate Sidney Harman.

He said one of the options is a transition to a digital magazine, but did not offer any specific plans. ...
