Diller: ‘I Wish I Hadn’t Bought Newsweek, It Was a Mistake’
The Newsweek/Daily Beast owner, Barry Diller, shared his regrets today on TV:

“There are some magazines that have no competition essentially in their field, luxury magazines,” the Washington Free Beacon reports Diller said. “Advertisers must advertise in them. But for a news magazine … it was not possible to print it any longer. So we said we will offer a digital product. We have a very, very solid newsroom, and we’ll see. I don’t have great expectations. I wish I hadn’t bought Newsweek. it was a mistake.”

That's your problem, perhaps the newsroom is biased and the world knows it and knows they can get the exact same opinion in a million other places.

You mean Obama didn't bail you out? Quelle Surprise! Being just a useful idiot doesn't qualify for true Chicago Cronyism treatment.

#7 You need a niche. Find some well-defined market that all the other rags aren't serving -- like actual news.
