Consider Zucker's example, The Office. Its ratings are poor, but its audience is rich. Its viewer incomes are among the highest of any network show. If its viewers are loyal, flush and tech-savvy enough that they'll pay not to miss episodes--or to watch them on their own schedule--the revenue could help keep such a marginal but critically praised show on the air.

Twenty cases of alcohol poisoning could go unreported at Wichita Community Tech, but if a Harvard student pisses on a fence in a back corner of a tailgate, you can be sure it’s on the front page of every newspaper in the land.There is some validity to Harvard’s concerns. Whether it is a blessing...
While many of her players took summer internships or joined summer basketball leagues, Delaney-Smith was coaching the likes of 2005 Naismith Player of the Year Seimone Augustus of LSU and preseason All-American Monique Currie from Duke. Players from perennial national powerhouses Texas Tech, Stanford, Notre Dame, and Ohio State were on the squad...
