Stock Investing Tip Like Knight Ridder, the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune have seen sharp declines in circulation in the last six months ending Sept. 30. The LA Times circulation declined 4 percent while the Chicago Trib's fell nearly 2.5 percent. But The Tribune and Knight Ridder are not alone.

Online Stock Investing Why is circulation and revenue down? The Internet. While The Tribune is quite successful at its online content syndication its flagship newspaper, the LA Times online, boasts one of the top-ten news websites in the country in page views, yet its rate of unique viewers sucks. For virtual advertisers, that's not appealing. Advertisers online want fresh eyeballs, not the same views over and over. That would be like one household subscribing to 35 copies of the same paper and the gross circulation figures boasting this huge audience reach.

Stock Market Crash Of Many of the nation's newspapers have been awkward in their move into online publishing. Too often they where blinded by the ink of old school print logic in that they were the premiere newspaper in a city and therefore so is their web site. But to an advertiser online that's of little value and by not giving the web publishing side of these large newspapers more of a free hand in managing their sites - and the content - they have limited the newspapers websites from attracting unique visitors.

Stock Investing For Beginner If you look back the history of online publishing newspapers like the NYTimes.com online didn't begin to offer RSS headline feeds for free until 2002, yet pure-web publishers were already aggressively moving into that market two years before that and today, readers online can access so much content for free, they're reluctant to jump through the hoops publishers like the Tribune require just to sign up for e-mail news alerts.

Finance Journal Personal Some newspapers online have moved into denying access altogether unless they pay for an online subscription. The Wall Street Journal comes to mind as a totally fee-based readership, though the WSJ can get away with it due to its high-quality brand and unique niche of business news. Try that with the LA Times and you would see the online news site's traffic plummet.

Stock Market Report Major newspapers online typically cannot sell their ad space, or at least enough of it that they have to rely on large network ad agencies like Real Media, Tribal Fusion or DoubleClick. The only problem with that is these agencies understand online advertising and theirformat is not to show ads to a visitor more than three times before they move to default (non-paying) ads. So for newspapers online like www.cleveland.com or www.latimes.com they cannot generate optimal ad revenue - even from these larger online ad agencies combined.

Finance Investing Stock Market For the LA Times online to develop a high enough ratio or unique visitors to page views its would need to figure out how to give something for nothing and then hope in the crowded world of the Internet that they could attract users. While there are ways to achieve that, AXcess News is not about to give its competitors its formulas.

Wall Street Journal Com As the larger newspapers continue to shrink AXcess News is growing. Pure-web plays, staffed with both online editorial and web development personnel are tipping the scales in their favor against their larger print peers, web sites or no. But the shakeout is just beginning.

Stock Market Investing Advice The news business is going electronic and its not going to stop there. Networks are being developed to compete on a global scale and web publishers are beginning to pool their content, uping the stakes even more. Their costs are lower and they understand the web, two distinct advantages old-school print publications cannot do.

Street Trader Wall Newsprint is expensive. Ink, paper, the printing plants and shipping all eat into ad revenues while virtual publishers have hosting and wages and can reach markets anywhere in the world.
