You try not to read too much into this, but NYT is being pursued by activist shareholders, then its subsidiary About.com sees its CEO Scott Meyer resign… the company line is that this was amicable and planned.
Maybe. But then why is NYT Digital dean Martin Nisenholtz taking over?
I don’t know… but maybe I should go ahead and buy About.com and reposition it for the upcoming video revolution (Oh, wait. It’s already started)?
Does anyone have $500M or so to front me? I’ll pay it back…
