I wonder what the kamikaze bloggers have to say about this: the USAToday.com’s traffic fell by anywhere from 10 to 40% after it took a turn towards, well, whatever the turn was about.
As I was saying, I wonder what the people I respect and read, mind you, but people who seem hellbent on thinking that all newspapers need is a dash of citizen-this and user-generated-that would say to that.
Newspapers have bigger macro issues, it’s not by opening up the USAToday.com and making it into a faux MySpace that traffic or revenue will pick up.
When I pick up an actual newspaper, the last thing I want is UGCrap.
