There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. "Sometime in the future," the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside, there’ s plenty of incentive to ditch print. The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper—printing presses, delivery trucks—isn’t just expensive; it’ s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print and sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.
Overhead may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.
Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. "Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them," he said, "but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you."
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming. "It was seen as a blunder," he said. The more turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti were in change at the Times? "I wouldn’t pick a year to end print," he said. "I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product."
The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. "So if you ’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping," Peretti said. "Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue." In other words, if you’re going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it. Which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $ 500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.
"It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business," Peretti remarked. "But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive."
Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should
选项
A、seek new sources of readership.
B、end the print edition for good.
C、aim for efficient management.
D、make strategic adjustments.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据关键词Peretti,present situation,the Times定位到第四段,根据首句“他还表 示,《纽约时报》不应该在退出纸质报纸的问题上浪费时间,除非能够以正确的方式处理此事”可 知他建议《纽约时报》找到一种正确的方法去解决这件事。接着两句具体说明该如何正确解决目 前的问题,故D项“进行战略调整”为正确答案。
