""People are not reading your stuff," Will Lewis bluntly told a room of American journalists on Monday as the British media executive announced an overhaul of The Washington Post's newsroom just months before a pivotal US election.
"I can't sugarcoat it any more," said Lewis, a former Rupert Murdoch lieutenant who was brought in to turn around a stalwart of American journalism that has brought down US presidents but struggled financially in recent years....Lewis stressed the urgency of reviving a newspaper that still talks with pride about its role in the Watergate scandal five decades ago.He did not mince his words in a 40-minute meeting with staff, saying it would be "nuts" not to change a business that lost $77mn last year."
Os jornais americanos são mesmo parolos. Queimar sobrancelhas à procura de um modelo de negócio adequado para os tempos actuais ... seria muito mais fácil seguir a via dos espertos, dos inteligentes, a dos portugueses. E conseguir do governo de turno e dos outros cobardes do costume uma arma para apontar aos contribuintes, e obrigá-los a fazer o que os "jornalistas" não conseguem com o seu trabalho: sustentá-los.
