From USA Today's the big lead:
Inside ESPN, there has been a lot of talk about the struggles of Nate Silver’s 538 website. It hasn’t even been online for a year yet, but from lack of revenue to lack of traffic to lack of advertising, it is already being billed as a "disaster" by some at the network. [An ESPN spokesman said Friday about 538: "Traffic is ahead of where it was with the New York Times."]
I wonder how Ezra's Vox is doing? There is a sizable Sprint communications ad on the main page, but at random I clicked on one of its stories--"Confessions of a former internet troll"--and saw no advertising at all. I clicked on another story; it had a rather small AT&T banner ad at the top. Ezra's current piece--"What Republicans want to do if they win the Senate"--also had a small banner ad, and a larger sidebar advertisement for Absolut vodka.
How does all that stack up dollar-wise? I have no idea. But $10 million (the amount Ezra sought, and was refused by, the Washington Post) is one helluva hefty stake to offset.
