I worked with Steve Baker at BusinessWeek 10 of those years and can tell you it's a top notch staff and publication. It's interesting to think about unleashing editorial talent like this to compete with the TechCrunch's of the world--if it's pure editorial, the journalists win. But of course we know it's a lot more than that. More importantly, if and when BW goes down (and any good pub), you lose more then the individual writers--you lose the whole system. That includes the editorial checks and balances, financial resources to go after time consuming tough stories and much more (see my recent post: Why BusinessWeek Matters). The reality is that we no longer have the luxury and (ad supported) funding for all of this, so here we are pondering all these other options for BW- almost all of which, sadly, will almost certainly mean a drastically scaled down publication at best (online and/or print, if print even survives). As the late Walter Cronkite would say, "that's the way it is. July 30, 2009." Nice post.
