The New York Times, by contrast, needs to make money to survive. The fundamentalchallenge facing newspapers, says Mark Oliver of Oliver Ohlbaum Associates, aconsultancy, is how to get readers to pay for news online. At the BBC Mr Thompson did nothave to worry about that.
相比之下,《纽约时报》需要赚钱才能生存。一家咨询公司奥利弗和欧哈巴姆联合公司的马克奥利弗表示,报纸公司所面临的根本挑战在于如何让读者为在线资讯付费。而在 BBC,汤普生不需要为此担心。
He will have to start. Recently the New York Times found some success getting more onlinereaders to fork out. Last year it adjusted its pay wall and by June had boosted the numberof digital subscribers to 509,000 between the New York Times and its stablemate, theInternational Herald Tribune, up by 12% in three months. However, the company still relieson advertisers for over 40% of its revenues, and online advertising rates are lower than thosein print. Mr Thompson will have to devise a more radical business plan than trying to catchprint papers fleeing subscribers.
现在他得开始考虑这个问题了。最近,《纽约时报》成功地让更多的在线读者大掏腰包了。去年,该报调整了其支付墙。截至去年六月为止,《纽约时报》和同公司的《国际先驱论坛报》的数字订户增加到了50.9万人,在三个月内上升了12%。然而,该公司超过40%的收入仍然依赖于广告商,而在线广告费用相比印刷版要低一些。汤普生将必须设计出更具新意的商业方案,而不是试图去挽留印刷版迅速流失的订户。
