New York Times Co (NYT)

I??m sure that "The New York Times Company to Report Q3, 2011 Results on Oct 20, 2011" will show how much those the company increase its valuable every day.

by Erin Dinklenburg A new writer will be joining the New York Times (NYT) editorial staff, issuing literate meditations on the issues of the day. Here's a hint - he's the lead singer of U2. Bono will be contributing to the New York Times Op-Ed section in 2009. Bono will write between six and ten pieces for the newspaper, ranging on topics from Africa to poverty to the music of Frank Sinatra Bono is no stranger to newspapers. In 2006, he served as the editor for a day of the English newspaper The Observer and Bono was a special guest editor of the July 2007 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. Meanwhile, the paper is interested in getting Queen guitarist Brian May, who recently earned his doctorate degree in astrophysics, to also write a periodic piece. Not only will this bring in U2 fans as potential subscribers, but it will also appeal to the younger generation of readers.

by Erin Dinklenburg Major media companies have opened stores in airport terminals to fly higher on the public's radar. CNBC (GE) stores have computers for checking stock quotes (preferably at CNBC.com). Sports Illustrated (TWX) stores will feature local professional and college team merchandise and will sell Sports Illustrated and Golf magazines only. The New York Times Company (NYT) stores will brandish one newspaper and one newspaper only - The Times. USA Today (GCI) is peddling its own paper as well as the rivals. Is pigeon-holing travelers a smart way for media companies to expand their reach?

by Carlos Portocarrero, WeSeed Writer Looking at things in a different way can give us new insight into something as mundane as box-office results. I found this graphic on The New York Times (NYT) that is getting a lot of buzz for the way it visualizes data. It's even a little dreamy. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/02/23/movies/20080223_REVENUE_GRAPHIC.html Make sure to check out the full graphic on the Time's page for the full experience. I especially like the way hovering lets you see how far a movie extends to the right (which corresponds to how long of a run the movie had). It's a great way to show how some movies make a ton of money right away and then fall off the face of the earth (see Waterworld) - while some unknowns start small, build a strong following, and have an extended run that nets a ton of money (see My Big Fat Greek Wedding). The chart got me thinking about what kind of investors we are. Some of us like to pick companies that get a lot of hype and coverage like Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) - the blockbusters. Then there are the unknown companies coming out with something completely new like Netflix (NFLX), which take time for people to find out about and buy into (á la Dances With Wolves). But once they do, look at them go. For investors like us that rely on what we know to succeed in the stock market, movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Juno are great examples of how we can compete with the big boys. Think of all the movies or bands you "discovered" before they made it to the big time - those same opportunities are out there no matter what you're interested in. You can also think of the Oscars as the earnings reports for stocks: you don't need a crystal ball to know that No Country for Old Men is going to get more people out to see it now. The same applies to stocks and if you get in beforehand you can ride the wave up. The chart is cool to look at because it visualizes word of mouth, hype, and even Oscar awards in a new, refreshing way. Play with the chart and see what kind of insight you can spot and don't forget - similar trends apply to the stock market.
