NYT threatens Boston Globe?
April 7, 2009 · Posted in Media Criticism
Am I the only person who thought of this classic National Lampoon cover illustration when I heard this news over the weekend: New York Times Co. is Said to Consider Closing The Boston Globe?
As far as bargaining tactics go, this seems like an incredibly high stakes game of “Chicken” from the Times Co.
The Globe last year reported weekday circulation of 324,000, the 14th highest in the country, and Sunday circulation of 504,000, the 11th highest.
Of course, there’s a part of me that wants to say, “Go ahead” and see if the Times is serious about closing the Globe. But that part of me is tempered by the lives that would be impacted by such a move.
