People are NOT meant to sit and stare at electronic screens all day. They just aren't. #newscorporation

The story may be apocryphal, but the lesson isn't. People who still can't access (or afford) the internet or own digital cable still have no idea what a Kindle is, or why it is allegedly better than picking up a newspaper or book.

That's the great thing about being a media mogul. You can make people do stuff "just 'cuz".
Also, it needs to be reiterated every time this story appears on this site (which is maybe two or three times a week), Gawker has a vested interest in content not going behind a paywall. Articles like these are opinion pieces more than anything resembling journalism (I know, it's Gawker, journalism doesn't come into it). #newscorporation

Just me then?
Also: since when have those been hallmarks of the Murdockian realm anyway? #newscorporation

If I want literature, I read Granta. If I want creative, interesting nonfiction, I read Maisonneuve.

Most memorable piece I read in Granta was in fact, creative non-fiction: "Death of a Harvard Man" by Simon Schama. I'll never forget it.
Not familiar with Maisonneuve. I'll never give up my New Yorker, though. I'll always love it.

I used to pay for the Tatler, a huge premium, but that was back ten years or more, when it was, you know, good.

Back when news was a nickel, he could do that with just his poker winnings. But if prices went up, he, like the rest of us,would study just how much of the papers he actually read. Not much. Nobody reads it all, and most skip quite a bit, like browsing online, which is why it would be hard to sell Wyatt on paying a higher price when all he wants to see is two words, and if they ain't there, the paper's worthless. #newscorporation

Of course you can work things out, but that would require entire sites like gawker and such to be run by no more than 5 guys as a side-business from their homes, without offices, parties or any fancy shit like say a salary.
And BTW, it's PROTIP, havent you ever read a Gamepro?

2. I detest Murdoch, but the Aussie accent humanizes him.
3. I hope power is the greatest aphrodisiac, because Wendy Deng probably needs a lot of it to do the horizontal bop with Rupert. #rupertmurdoch
