In a excerpt from the article -
Net To Newspapers: Drop Dead
INTERNET DAMAGE WAS QUANTIFIED in an April McKinsey &
Co. report on online classified ads that bluntly talked
about "price destruction." The Internet's effect on
help-wanted classifieds, the study found, cost
newspapers $1.9 billion in revenue between 1996 and
2004. And classified-ad categories like real estate and
automotive may not be exempt from such trends, the
report warned. (The report is "a very shallow and
superficial effort," says P. Anthony Ridder, chairman
and chief executive of Knight Ridder Inc. and a past
chairman of the Newspaper Association of America, which
commissioned the study.) Newspapers have been hurt by
the quiet march of free (or low-cost) classifieds on
craigslist.org, which now serves more than 100 U.S.
regions and 33 countries and logs more than 2.5 billion
page views a month.

Can You
Afford Not to Have an Ezine?
By Lucia Apollo Shaw
Ezines are a cost effective way to stay in touch with
your target audience and show them why you are their
best resource. Can an ezine help you find candidates?
You’ve probably heard said that it takes at least five
to seven interactions with someone before they will take
action. And the larger the decision, the longer it will
take.
But did you know that over 80% of sales occur after the
fifth interaction?
Think about this from the standpoint of a candidate who
has grown accustomed to being contacted by recruiters,
hiring managers and executives. Doesn’t it take many
conversations, meetings, phone calls, and other
exchanges to finally get to a "yes" or a "no"?
 If
we’re aware that career changing decisions are often
stressful, why do many candidates complain about
pressure to make a decision before they’re ready? Isn’t
there a sales conflict going on here?
One problem is that many hiring managers don’t know of a
way to consistently keep in touch with candidates, and
invite them to act when they are ready.
Why not stay in touch with your audience on a monthly
basis with your own ezine?
Statistics show that email or online marketing campaigns
still outperform direct mail.

HR Uncertain of Retiring Baby
Boomers' Impact on Workplace
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
overall labor force will grow by 12 percent by 2012.
However, the percentage of workers aged 55 and older
will increase by 49.3 percent. As many baby boomers
retire, human resource (HR) professionals will need to
determine how to best fill that void.
