Will NYT be around in 10 years?

In print, that is? ... New York Times Chairman and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger addressed that question this week, as reported by paidContent.org; here is a key segment, as pointed out on Romenesko:

"The heart of the answer must be that we can't care," says Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. "We do care. I care very much, but we must be where people want us to be for their information. Print is going to be here, I believe, for a very long time." The Times is more comfortable than ever with experimentation and launching services in beta, he says. "The thought is that we have to get past the thought that it has to be perfect" on day one. "If you're not prepared to occasionally fail, you're not trying hard enough."
