NYT futurist is moving on

Portfolio reports that the person in charge of helping craft the future of The New York Times is leaving the paper.
Michael Rogers, the paper's future-in-residence, is going back into the consulting world. For the last two years, he has helped the Times understand new media challenges.

Asked whether everything he's learned has made him more or less pessimistic about the Times' prospects, he says, "I've become more worried about some newspapers but less about what the Times is doing. They're doing all the right things. We're looking at quite a shakeout over the next five to eight years, but I think many companies are positioning themselves properly to get through it. I think the Times is doing more than most any other media company I've worked with in the past."
