What is the relationship you see Philly.com having with the Inquirer and Daily News going forward?
Most of our content comes from those newsrooms. There are a lot of Web sites that wish they had their content coming from there, as opposed from those who are commenting on the news that other people write. You’ve seen that shift from when our content was once just what appeared in the newspaper, and now reporters are blogging and now increasing that material in real time and going on video to tell you more. We’ll continue to do that. We’re one company. We’re not just a newspaper Web site. We’re a Web site that is fueled by newspapers. Look at the Mob Scene videos. That is [famed Inquirer organized crime reporter] George Anastasia who everyone knows, but doing something different than what he ever did before, and that’s something our reporters will continue to do. The printed product is valuable to hundreds of thousands of people, but the online product is important as well. Give us two predictions for 2010: one for the media landscape generally and one for Philly.com specifically. 201
