More on the Future of News – Most Emailed

By tom paper

nytmostpopularMy news reading habits are changing…rapidly. I no longer even try to read print editions because I just can’t keep up and I can’t dedicate that much time to something for which I don’t know the return. I have taken to focusing on reading the “most emailed” sections of The New York Times and other papers as a way of getting at the things that are interesting to others that I don’t want to miss. I was just on yahoo looking at the comics. They have a huge section of comics, but I don’t have the time to wade through all of them every day. I started looking immediately for a “most emailed” for comics. They don’t have it, but they do have it for major news. I’d be especially interested in most emailed or most popular amongst my family and friends and clients. Wouldn’t that be cool if some company could build that? I’ll be LinkedIn is thinking about that.
