tl;dr

From my surface-level understanding of recessions, it's the companies that go deep on R&D that come out on top once it's over.

If I were a pub with operating margins to spare, I'd be buying up all kinds of new talent (especially in ad sales) -- not slashing staff

These supposedly brutal layoffs at Time and other titles amount to <A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/business/media/29mag.html">only 6% of headcount</A> at the bloated Time Warner magazine group. Other media groups such as the New York Times and Conde Nast—a hiring freeze, how callous!—are being even more squeamish. From conglomerates to internet ventures, executives should be planning now on a decline of up to 40% in advertising spending during this cycle. Instead they're sleepwalking into economic extinction—even those lean online ventures which were supposed to take up the mantle and preserve New York's position as a media capital.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/73B21C4E-D25A-435A-97A1-9120B3FD68E4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
