GARFIELD: If there is a financial incentive just to generate traffic, what's to keep your journalists from rigging the game to get more hits as opposed to finding a, you know, more important story? QUITTNER: Well, first of all, I don't think it's easy to, as you put it, rig the game. There's something like 75,000 new blogs being created every day. You know, everyone talks about how this is an attention economy, how you're competing for people's attention. It's not easy to rig that. However, on the cover of Business 2.0, the magazine that's about to come out, is real estate. And why am I doing real estate? Well, I've done real estate two years in a row now, and it's my best-selling cover. People are really, really interested in real estate. Does that make me a dishonest editor because I'm putting real estate on the cover? Absolutely not. It's a real interesting business story. That's why it sells so well.
