"I really don't know whether we'll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care, either," he says. He's looking at how best to manage the transition from print to Internet.
"Internet is a wonderful place to be and we're leading there," he adds. The Times has doubled its online readership, and now has 1.1 million subscribing to the print edition - and 1.5 million readers online, each day.
The New York Times is on a journey, Sulzberger says, and its end will be the day the company decides to stop printing the paper. That will be the end of the transition.

I still don't subscribe to Times Select. (I do subscribe to Salon, though, because Sidney Blumenthal is more honest than Frank Rich and you're less likely to read Cheneyite propaganda there).

Good point--he talks a good game but massaging writers' text is going to be hard habit for them to break. (A la what they did to Molly Ivins--letting a great writer slip through their fingers.)

Also what will they write about if they can't dispense one-way government spin?

Anybody remember "Lies Of Our Times"? Albeit shortlived, albeit Chomskyoidal; it rocked in its day & then went the way of Jimmy Carter & Palestine.
