RedEye’s Got It Going On
Why not give RedEye its congrats on a great distribution strategy? I hear you on Huffington Post walking the line of stealing content. But you seemed to give them credit for figuring out the digital distribution game. Seems like from your visual sweep of Chicago transit that RedEye has maximized their distribution opportunity. So could RedEye with improved content (which probably comes with a higher cost) grow its engagement with readers and deliver more value for its advertisers and increase revenue?

Thank you again,
Good article, Mr. Sula. I’ve read Mark Caro’s book, and I’ve also visited 3 U.S. foie gras farms. Most important for me: these are responsible relatively small agricultural operations. They are not factory farms, as some of the anti-FG sites claim. (There are industrial FG farms in France and Quebec, but protesters hardly ever make a distinction.) The owners of the U.S. farms are food progressives—responsible omnivores like Caro. For some staunch anti-meat activists, this is an oxymoron, and therefore justifies deceptive, ill-founded claims. It’s noteworthy that Philadelphia is having its second annual Foie Gras Week without intervention from the former “Hugs for Puppies” protesters (who have been sued in the past for their extreme tactics, but seem to be now adopting a more civil approach).
Putting aside for a moment that some of the proposed changes would feel a bit like “bait and switch” to those of us who just signed on for diversity, there are a few fundamental business reasons to use real caution in considering these changes. (I say this as someone who also went to art school, and has depth in business management in a creative industry.)
