David Kaplan of PaidContent.org interviews NYTimes.com general manager Vivian Schiller about how the paper is increasing its online offerings in business and technology news, which is resulting in some additional hiring.
Later, Kaplan writes, “While the NYT offered buyouts last April in an attempt to trim the news staff by 100, Schiller says the company has also been in a limited hiring mode. ‘In an age where people are cutting, we’re bringing in new hires for our newsroom, with experienced journalists from high-profile publications. And we’re continuing to do so. We have more executive decision-makers on our site versus any other – including WSJ. What we need to do, is bring them deeper into our business coverage. We looked at their behavior and we saw that they’re looking at foreign news, culture, travel. It will also make it easier for advertisers to reach them contextually. It’s a big initiative for us, we think it’s going to be a big revenue driver.'”
