Race Based Reasoning
Do you believe that love is blind? You may not for long…at least not color blind. A recent article on OkCupid.com explores how race affects the messages an individual receives and their sent messages rate of return. Think this doesn’t affect you? Wrong again. Whether you are Black, White, Asian, Indian, or Native American, this article will surprise you. While the article primarily focuses on rates of connection and dating, the article’s findings may have bigger implications in the business and political arenas.
The old adage, “No news is good news,” is definitely true for the Dolan’s who purchased Newsday, the Long Island daily, for $650 million last October. Attempting to make the jump from a paid paper daily to a paid internet news source, the Dolan’s opted to make Newsday internet and membership accessible only. Possibly “ahead of the Times,” Newsday’s membership hasn’t exactly balanced the $4 million website overhaul. While a return on an investment is every investor’s dream…for the Dolan’s and Newsday, the $9,000 ROI is nothing short of a nightmare.
