I request any comments or advice about a plan that one of my clients is
considering:

A syndicated columnists and cartoonists plans to offer its content to online
newspapers. Rather than sending its content in paper or even electronic form
to online publications (thus requiring those online publications' web staffs
to receive, format, host, and update any columns and cartoons it uses),
this syndicate plans to host the content on its own server but offer each of
its online publication clients customizable webpages for each piece of the
syndicated columnists or cartoonists they contract. Each online publication
would have control of these pages on the syndicate's server: have 'write'
authorization for those webpage, could code the pages themselves, design
those page to fit the newspaper's own design, format, look-and-feel, etc.
The online publication wouldn't have to worry about receipt, handling,
formatting, or updating the syndicate's content on their own websites. And
the syndicate wouldn't have to worry about sending the content, plus could
also provide each publication on those webpages with an online archive of
each columnist's or cartoonist's work.

Ignoring the server security implications in this, would this plan benefit
online newspapers? Or would it cause problems for online newspapers?

The syndicate also is trying to gauge what its server load would be if it
implemented this plan. Among those online newspapers that now host
columnists' or cartoonists' work, what percentage pageviews do columnists or
cartoonists receive?

I'd appreciate any answers anyone could give me to these questions. Private
replies would be helpful to keep from clogging this discussion lists.
However, if you'd like to share answers with the list, feel free.

Sincerely Yours,

Vin Crosbie
