Carlyle Group advisor and former Time Inc. Editor-in-Chief Norman Pearlstine said during a recent Argyle Executive Forum media conference that newspaper profits have declined sharply with the growth of online news content. Pearlstine, recently named Chief Content Officer at Bloomberg, told attendees that newspapers “remain viable businesses” and that “they remain capable of generating consistent cash flow, but they are not going to have the kinds of margins again that they’ve had in the past.” Similarly, Rupert Murdoch, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of News Corporation recently said “I just love communicating with people, whether print, TV, print, mobile and others. Print will be there for at least 20 years, and outlive me.”

Indeed, the steady drop of sales and profits at major newspapers comes at a time when readers are demanding a variety of content sources and forms of distribution. They want customized content, and much more.

It’s against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents a conference call examining the future of America’s newspaper of record: The New York Times. Join us for an enlightened and informed discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing the newspaper that offers “All The News That’s Fit to Print."
