The Newspaper Death Watch
2008-04-29 05:14:00 By now you know the story: The business of newspapers is in decline. It's a terminal decline, if you believe experts such as Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California at Annenberg. His research suggests traditional media in general must learn to shrink but newspapers in particular are a special case. "When an offline reader of a paper dies, he or she is not being replaced by a new reader," he said. "How much time do they have? We think they have 20 to 25 years."Newspapers' overall ad revenue has been falling, down to $42.2 billion last year from $48.7 billion at the millennium.Of course, newspaper owners aren't going to just give up and wait -- and that's why Ad Age is launching this series about the 1,437 dailies still working hard in the U.S. It'll look at the thought leaders in the industry, their attempts to leave the past -- and even formats -- behind and their strategies for finding new business models. But let's...

2008-01-28 14:38:00 A parody of a ballot from Cuba's recent so-called "elections."&-amp;nbsp; The ballot was smuggled out of Cuba by a hungry rafter who took a bite out of it. It includes notes from both Fidel Castro and Raul Castro. Funny political satire about one of the Western Hemisphere's worst dictatorships. Here9 Zoom(s)
Castro Death Watch Exclusive: partial draft of Cuban ballot
2008-01-24 03:23:00 Castro Death Watch has obtained a piece of a draft copy of the ballot used in Cuba’s recent “election,” below. We say a “piece” because it was smuggled out of the island nation by a desperately hungry balsero who ate a large portion of it. The remaining portion includes notes and proofreading marks ...

Windows: The Vista Death Watch
2007-11-14 07:00:00 pcmag.com: Microsoft has extended the life of Windows XP because Vista has simply not shown any life in the market. We have to begin to ask ourselves if we are really looking at Windows Me/2007, destined to be a disdained flop. By all estimates the number of Vista installations hovers around the number of Macs ...

Announcing the Chrysler Product Death Watch
2007-10-07 11:20:00 In this week’s Newsweek article, Jim Press hinted that in the coming weeks he will announce changes to current product mix. He was quoted as saying:”I think we can do a lot by eliminating some duplicative models and, at the same time, adding models that will extend our footprint and reach plus give customers a wider range of choice. Instead of two or four vehicles competing against each other, we?ll have a broader range that compliment each other and compete with vehicles from companies outside of Chrysler. Our criteria for making the Death Watch list: 1. Low monthly sales (Magnum, Aspen) 2. Products that require high incentives (Pacificia, Commander, Dakota, Aspen) 3. Admitted products that “missed the mark” (Nitro and Sebring) 4. Produt Overlap (Compass, Nitro, Liberty) 5. Gas Guzzlers (Commander, Pacifica, Aspen) 6. Brand “Fit” (Compass, Liberty) Here is our list of possible cars and trucks we believe Chrysler may kill before the end of the ye...

2007-09-26 02:34:00 First show to fall victim of the Fall 2007 Season: NASHVILLE. FOX has yanked its freshman series Nashville just two weeks into its run.

KITCHEN NIGHTMARES - Downgrade?
2007-09-20 09:02:00 I just finished watching KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, and let me start by mentioning that I am the biggest fan of its original British version Rasmay’s Kitchen Nightmares, but I will NOT be tuning in for the American version again. The show is so staged, I just could not stomach it. They tried to transform the original ...

August Castro Death Watch poll
2007-08-02 13:01:00 Wow, where has July gone? In case you’re wondering, other than a very brief (as in, WAAAAAAY too brief) honeymoon (yes, I got married, on July 7th), I did not go on vacation. I’ve just been extremely busy and will probably be just as busy this month. But at least I got ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch for 6/13
2007-06-13 19:00:00 Big Stein is all smiles today as his Yanks won their 7th straight game. He knows a lull might be coming but he hopes it’s not for a few more weeks. He really thinks the Yanks won’t lose another game all season.

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/9
2007-06-09 18:50:00 Big Stein is happy the team is winning again. He’s also happy his 44 year old investment is relaunching today in NY. Big Stein can’t believe that the Pirates payroll is only $40 million, when AROD and Jeter combined make more than that. He’s also happy the team is in a tie for 2nd place ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/8
2007-06-08 18:00:00 Big Stein is very happy his skipper got his 2000th win as a manager with the Yankees. He is the longest tenured manager under Big Stein’s watch. But Big Stein wants to know why Newsday ran the Mets on the cover when Joe Torre got his 2000th win. It makes Big Stein so mad he ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/7
2007-06-07 16:30:00 Big Stein is happy that his Wang pulled one out last night. He’s giddy that his team is almost trailing by single digits again. He’s not happy about the “other team” in NY taking 2 covers this morning. And he’ still waiting for his “greenies” to get delivered. He also wants to know how Giambi ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/6
2007-06-06 20:58:00 Sorry for the delay, Big Stein was trying to figure out why there was hockey on the Newsday cover. He is also trying to figure out how a team from Toronto was in 2nd place and not his team. He is happy though the Yanks picked up a game in the standings. But this whole ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/4
2007-06-04 19:51:00 Big Stein is happy today. His investment of AROD is finally paying dividends, even if he can’t produce in the playoffs. But Big Stein isn’t happy the Yanks only picked up 1 game in the standings against the Sox this weekend.

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/3
2007-06-03 18:57:00 I heard a rumor that Big Stein is actually upset and concerned about Doug Mientkiewicz. He should be. Dougie plays the game hard and what happened was freakish. Big Stein’s heartbeat went up though when he looked at last week’s standings and saw the Yanks out of first place by 11.5 games and now sees his ...

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/2
2007-06-02 17:00:00 Good news for the Steinbrenner Death Watch fans. Big Stein is happy. His Yanks aren’t in last place anymore. But the best part for him, more tabloid covers. Nothing makes him more happier than dominating the tabloid covers.
By: Random Thoughts
Steinbrenner Death Watch For 6/1
2007-06-01 17:15:00 I am happy to report that Big Stein is probably happy about the Yanks being back on the covers of the tabloids again. Although by looking at the pictures, the media isn’t really high on the Yankees right now. Also, it still looks like the Yanks are in last place.

Steinbrenner Death Watch For 5/31
2007-05-31 19:55:00 I am happy to report to those Yankees fans who stop by the blog that things are looking good on the Steinbrenner Death Watch front. The Yanks, although still in last place, managed to get themselves back on the NY tabloids covers again. I guess when StrayRod does something totally wrong, it’s worthy of a cover. ...

General Motors Death Watch 118: Too Much Too Litte Too Late
2007-04-20 19:12:00 When Car Czar Bob Lutz told the world that GM was putting the Zeta platform on hold, it was the second time the rear-wheel drive (RWD) program had been chopped. Two years ago, GM killed Zeta for being too pricey. Less than half a year later, the RWD program was resurrected; working with GM’s Holden ...

General Motors Death Watch 117: Wrong Wheel Drive
2007-04-12 14:24:00 "It was at the point where if you extrapolated that trend line out, you could see where that trend line hit the ground.” No, GM Car Czar “Maximum” Bob Lutz wasn’t referring to his employer or a bad flight in his L39 Albatros combat jet. Maximum Bob was reflecting on his infamous “damaged brand” assessment ...
Chrysler Death Watch 11: Captain Kirk Beams Down
2007-04-10 13:17:00 At last week's DaimlerChrysler stockholder meeting, a man named Ekkehard Wenger stepped up to the microphone and said his piece. "For nine years you have been sitting on this scrapheap called Chrysler. Nobody has learned anything. To call this a sale is a euphemism. If you pay for the garbage man to empty the dustbin, ...
General Motors Death Watch 116: Groundhog Day
2007-04-08 13:13:00 GM circa 2007: bad investments and expensive labor contracts; excess capacity and crushing debt; a surfeit of brands and products. It’s also GM circa 1910, 1920, 1973, 1980, 1991 and 1998. In fact, wandering through GM’s history is like watching an endless loop of "Groundhog Day." Clearly, The General doesn’t share Phil Conners’ ability to ...
Ford Death Watch 30: Executive Compensation
2007-04-05 20:04:00 In the first three months of his employment, Ford CEO Alan Mulally earned himself a cool $28.2m. So how’s the high flying ex-Boeing exec doing in his campaign to save the embattled automaker? According to Big Al, “it’s going pretty well." He’s “reduced complexity” (i.e. paid bureaucrats to leave), sent Aston packing, unloaded the first ...
General Motors Death Watch 115: Small is? hang on? thinking?
2007-04-05 13:05:00 It’s déjà vu all over again. GM’s sales sink, the PR flacks weave a tangled web and the product guys dangle shiny objects in front of the easily distracted press to prevent them from focusing on the company’s ongoing, unstoppable rot. It’s got to the point where Buickman, the original tin foil in the hat ...
Ford Death Watch 29: Funkmaster Flex Expedition? Shelby GT-500KR? Ford F-15

A Ford exec making a public commitment to ongoing excellence. No more cut and run. No more vehicles dying on the vine or losing out to some new ...
Ford Death Watch 28: Alan Mulally Wants to Be Where the People Are
2007-03-31 17:42:00 Back in ’98, the BBC aired a fly-on-the-wall documentary program called “Back to the Floor.” A camera crew followed a series of British bosses who left the executive suite for a week's labor with “average workers” at the “sharp end.” When the show migrated to America’s PBS, it lacked the undercurrent of class warfare that ...
General Motors Death Watch 114: Suboptimal
2007-03-15 16:50:00 Is it any wonder GM announced another deadbeat deal and cash incentives the day after they reported their long-delayed fourth quarter and year end financial results? Whatever else you can say about GM, you can’t fault their news management skills. If the automaker had revealed the package before the accounts were revealed, the discounting would ...
General Motors Death Watch 113: Hey Diddle Diddle
2007-03-12 16:28:00 I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: GM Car Czar Bob Lutz is a gift. To the media– not GM stockholders. The General’s Vice Chairman of Global Product Development feels free to make it up as he goes along, paying scant regard to the current state of the world market or his own company’s ...
