Editor & Publisher Will Shut Down

Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, go to private equity consortium

When News Is for the Rich, Newser Is Robin Hood...

...and founder Michael Wolff is in jail

(NEWSER) - The year is 2012, and Michael Wolff is in prison. He’s the first high-profile conviction under 2011’s anti-aggregation law, the draconian act that’s allowed newspapers to duck behind ever-pricier paywalls. These days, a New York Times subscription will run you $7,000, and “the cultural divide between the news-haves and news-have-nots is just depressing,” writes Simon Dumenco for Advertising Age. More»

Facebook Could Kill the Web

Michael Wolff points out that, in the end, Facebook is just an ad-driven site

(NEWSER) - "Facebook is not only on course to go bust, but will take the rest of the ad-supported Web with it." That's the bold statement Michael Wolff makes in the MIT Technology Review today, and he insists he's not exaggerating. In the end, Facebook is just another website selling ads, he explains, and online ad rates are constantly falling. "I don't know anyone in the ad-Web business who isn't engaged in a relentless, demoralizing, no-exit operation to realign costs with falling per-user revenues." More»

Lawyer's letter complains that source links are not 'prominent' enough

(NEWSER) - The Wrap ratcheted up its feud with Newser yesterday, firing off a "cease and desist" letter demanding that we stop using the Wrap as a source for Newser stories. In her blog , Sharon Waxman quotes from the letter, which charges Newser with "intentionally misleading consumers/users at the expense of The Wrap" because our links to the source—under the bright red SOURCE button next to every story—aren't "prominent" enough.

Sorry, Sharon: Newser Proves Shorter Can Be Better

It may be painful to long-form writers, but Newser is 'a smart idea'

(NEWSER) - Jack Shafer doesn't like Michael Wolff—he really, really doesn't like him—but he has to admit that in the battle of Wolff (for Newser) vs Sharon Waxman (for the Wrap), he's on Wolff's side. That's because Newser has something to teach Waxman and other news purists, he writes on Slate : "The mattresses of words that journalists rest their stories on aren't always as precious as we think they are. Sometimes shorter is better." More»
