Please don't let the NYT's fall like the Washington Post. The biggest reason the Washington Post fell was because they had the same people doing the same job for far to long. I'm not saying fire someone after,2 terms or 8 years but move them to another job, e.g. alternate workers so they don't get stale. You'll find more incentive in not only your staff, but your readers as well. I can see it coming, because it' happened to NYC&Co. and they merged with 3 other corporations. When you have the same artist painting the same signs for over ten years, they don't get better, they get lazy, and people stop recognizing the signs. Just a thought from one reader that would like to see more coverage of horse racing, the only sport in the world where you can take a small amout of money and have a chance of winning much more than you wager.

by syncing the two. And if you'd rather just be an observer, you can subscribe to friends' updates on NYTimes.com while leaving your own feed updates turned off.
