I had mentioned this back in May… How I predicted that the second half of 2007, we were going to see the fall of the first major newspaper to some other kind of medium – web, electronic, whatever. It got a ton of trackbacks, and a lot of people said one of two things: "You’re right," or "You’re an idiot." Well, I’m not declaring victory just yet, but the cards seem to be falling into the deck at quite pleasing right angles. How’s this for an example? NY Times Posts 52% drop in profits, executive to "rein in costs" and "increase revenues." (via Smart Money.) I’m just sayin. That’s all. I’m just sayin.

Thanks to a savvy reporter for sending me this and letting me post it as a rule of what NOT TO DO. People – We’re not all really this non-thinking, are we? That we’d use Katrina as a way to promote A BOOK?? Sigh. —–Original Message—–From: Dottie DeHartSent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 2:23 PMSubject: Story Idea: FREE GULLIVER–Getting rid of the tiny strings that hold you down! *For a review copy of Free Gulliver: Six Swift Lessons in Life Planning, or to speak with the author, Tripp Friedler, please contact Dottie DeHart, Rocks-DeHart Public Relations Freeing Gulliver in the Wake of Katrina As things slowly get back to normal in his hometown of New Orleans, life planner Tripp Friedler continues [...]
