| 569497 | 2007-07-16 23:09:00 | Facinating article showing the decline of tech mags ... Meanwhile, bigger publications are hurting too: Time Warner's (nyse: TWX - news - people ) Business 2.0 saw ad pages drop 21.8% through March from the same period a year ago; PC Magazine's editor in chief walked out the door after ad pages fell 38.8% over the same period; and one-time online powerhouse CNET is reporting growing losses even as the companies it covers flourish. www.forbes.com |

| 569500 | 2007-07-17 05:16:00 | Interesting to note that Rupert Murdoch is happy to pay around 1 Billion US for the Wall Street Journal. Who said that informative tech journalism is dead? | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 569501 | 2007-07-17 07:19:00 | I don't know what you mean about... | Cstrikedish (12190) | ||
| 569502 | 2007-07-17 08:25:00 | What winmacguy is trying to say I think is that print journalism still remains a valuable commodity. What I don't get is the fact that the WSJ is a FINANCIAL news newspaper and its tech section is just merely to cover all bases. Winmacguy, netchicken's original post and link dealt with computer publications, not financial publications based in the city with 3 of the largest bourses. |

| 569503 | 2007-07-17 08:30:00 | I take it that you have never read any articles from the Wall Street Journal or heard of a guy called Walt Mossberg ( he interviewed Bill G and Steve J at All things D), Walt works for the Wall Street Journal. Look him up on Google. He also was one of the select journalists who reviewed the iPhone just prior to its release. The Wall Street Journal has a very strong subscription based readership which is unusual for an online publication at the moment. Technology and finance tend to make bed pals together. If you write great articles that people value, they will be willing to subscribe to your publication to read them. |

| 569505 | 2007-07-17 11:12:00 | Ah yes, I did forget about Walt though I would take David Pogue over him any day. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 569506 | 2007-07-17 11:32:00 | Each to their own although David Pogue is also a very good reviewer. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
