Mr. MacArthur to the Columbia Spectator student and board leadership. Read the whole story below my favorite quote from him. Im glad to see there is a guy who can be right with less tact than me. To reiterate, killing the daily paper is a foolish mistake from both a financial and philosophical standpoint. Advertising revenue will plummet and the loss will not be offset by on-line income. I cringed at the marketing speak expressed by the managing editor, publisher and some other trustees in favor of a greater digital focus, since they certainly are aware that greater digital focus has lost many billions of dollars for newspapers and magazines over the last ten years, and will continue to bleed them as they pour more resources into a bottomless pit. nymag/daily/intelligencer/2014/04/rick-macarthur-quits-columbia-spectator-board-internet.html
