The only thing that needs to be added to this excellent summation is that the Associated Press, albeit a not for profit organization, is touting itself as a player in the Information Technology sector under its new leadership by the Publisher Emeritus of the Dallas Morning News. The other thing that might be significant is that while all kinds of internet companies are generating good profits, the AP registered a measly 0.9% increase in revenue in 2003. Covering the election single-handedly was obviously a risky proposition which they can’t be seen as having failed at. In designating themselves as part of the information technology industry, providing computer services, in competition with Reuters and Dow Jones, the managers of the Associated Press seem to have overlooked one simple fact: the value of information is virtually limitless IF IT IS ACCURATE. Nobody’s going to pay twice for information that is wrong.
Why is it that Texas seems to produce such poor businessmen.
Oh, if you want to take a look at the record yourself, in addition to the Associated Press, have a look at Burl Osborne.
