[...] Arthur Sulzberger & Walter Isaacson on making money online — in 1995 » Nieman Journalism Lab For two days, luminaries of print media gathered at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, Mass., to discuss the hyphenated enigma that was, as recorded on the transcript’s cover, “the On-Line Era.” Joining the panel was Walter Isaacson, who was certain in 1995 that readers would shell out a monthly subscription fee for Time Inc.’s digital magazines. “Throughout all forms of journalism, people have been willing to pay,” he said.

Putting their crossword puzzles into an iPhone-system-software, I think, was not such a bad idea. Heck, $10 a year does not sound bad at all, either.

Bruce, I’ll keep an eye out for the 1994 conference. Should be around the Nieman building somewhere. Thanks for the memories, and glad you were there. —Zach

Thanks for opening this capsule. I watched that conversation from the second row in 1995, sitting with Kovach, who razzed Sulzberger for not wearing a necktie. I remember Frank 3’s contrarian crack about diapers, and Pinch’s overall reticence to take the plunge (Nando Times preceded nytimes by a couple of years). Ancient history now — like going back to hear Orville and Wilbur speculate on a future of Pan Am and FedEx; of course they guessed more wrong than right. I was The News & Observer (Frank 3’s paper) online editor then. The previous year I had painstakingly posted all the 1994 Nieman new media conference and transcripts and images on the web (a couple of weeks of HTML 1.0 markup by hand). That would be a museum piece today, the discussions far more ancient than 1995’s. I wish I could give you a link to it now, but it vanished when somebody here in Raleigh erased a hard disk a few years later. And that’s my reason for this post, a plea: If anybody has the 1994 Nieman New Media Conf transcript, especially in html, I’d love to see a copy.
