Tuesday March 31, 2009 Steven Colbert had on John Sturm, president of the Newspaper Association of America. Typical of all his guests, he made them look out of touch and stupid. As Advertising Age wrote in their blog, “it was hilarous and depressing”. Why on earth would the NAA send anyone to speak with Colbert for his program? You know the saying, “all publicity is good publicity” well, it’s not.
Steven Colbert is an influencer watched by millions and he just pronounced the floundering newspaper industry dead. It’s impossible for Strum to come up with a single retort to “why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” and “if you’re serious about competing on the internet, why don’t newspapers have a huge porn section?”
