The NY Times digital makeover: turning a giant ship
Steve Safran August 23rd, 2006
Martin Nisenholtz, the senior vice president for digital operations at the New York Times, is to be credited for his work already. The New York Times website is very good. And it is bringing in money. While the rest of the company’s revenue was flat last quarter, Business 2.0 writes:Internet revenue soared from $49 million to $66 million. Radiating pride, Nisenholtz declares, “We’re really in an amazing position…. We’re in the best shape we’ve ever been in.” We’d like to see the NY Times keep going in a 2.0 direction. In the article, he speaks of blogs as 2.0 - a topic of debate. Bring in the user content, video, and extend the conversation and the NY Times site will continue its roll. After all, who likes to talk about New York more than New Yorkers? (Via Cyberjournalist)

The NY Times website is “very good?” I would argue it is the best…design, usability, aesthetics, breadth/depth of content, aggressive but tolerable approach to advertising, etc. I’m leaving aside their ever more blatant political bias, of course. But for me, it’s my answer to the proverbial “if you were going to be stranded on a desert island and would only have access to ONE website…” question.
