Quote to Note: Cannibal Surprise
November 14, 2010
Nifty quote caught my eye in “iPad Affecting Newspaper Sales.” Here’s the bit:
Murdoch said that the apps were “much more directly cannibalistic” than Web sites, as subscribers read the apps in a manner similar to how they read traditional newspapers. Web readers apparently consume their news somewhat differently. While he didn’t disclose sales numbers, Murdoch said that the newspapers affected include the Wall Street Journal, News of the World, and the Times of London.
I love the phrase “more cannibalistic”. Donner’s Pass, stranded mountain climbers, and … Hmmmm.
