    Foster -- why can't you charge people for information (gathering it, assessing it, presenting it)? Am I missing something here? #peterkaplan

    @Bunsy: Sure, you can. But if the person being charged is me - who can take it, repurpose it in my own language, and make it more profitable (the cost of paying for the NYT vs. the cost of reporting the NYT) - the value of the information drops dramatically, as quickly as I can make it my own. And I just don't think you can't protect the value of something like a huge scoop to justify what it costs to get it anymore. You've got to offer something else.

    @Bunsy: Because eventually the information makes its way into the public space. In other words, if information has any value at all, that value pretty much disappears the instant it hits the air. The pay wall only works if you can control, in a very narrow way, the limits of the medium (in this case the internet). #peterkaplan

    In reply to Former New York Observer Editor Peter Kaplan Tells Charlie Rose He's "Evangelical"
    I kind of love the quote about how it takes a single day to decipher whether a reporter is worth his or her weight. That really speaks to an intuitiveness amongst quality journalists, something that perhaps cannot be taught at school but merely refined (or alternately, stunted) by grooming.

    And Tina Brown is a lot [many things-er] than all of us, but that does not make her in any way something we should continue thinking about. #peterkaplan

    @ampersandparade: True, on both points. But Tina Brown's going to be someone we're going to have to keep thinking about. The question remains: when (or if) Diller will tighten the purse-strings on her operation. #peterkaplan

    A quick check of der Google indicates that CEP = the Communication Energy and Paperworkers union. CEP's response lambastes TorStar mgmt for dropping this bomb on the newspaper's 117th birthday. #torontostar

    Have you ever READ the Toronto Star? It's really pitched for the kind of people Fran Lebowitz says can't watch television without moving their lips. Undoubtedly, they employ the same. So this is a surprise why? #torontostar

    See, we can be just as snarky as our American counterparts. Just going about it in a more subtle way.
    I'd like to send this unknown editor the memos I get from the head of the company I work for, (incidentally, a rival media conglomerate) they are just as vague and wordy. #torontostar
