By the time it was sold to Turner, Bleacher Report was making tens of millions of dollars a year. Brian Morrissey, the editor of Digiday, recently explained how publishers like Bleacher Report have managed to succeed by “gaming the Internet ad system.” Advertising on the Web is cheap: Bleacher Report charges roughly fifty dollars for every thousand people who see their most expensive type of ad, a “homepage takeover.” Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated, whose circulation is three million, charges almost four hundred thousand dollars for a full-page color ad.

well-researched exposé, such as the one Sports Illustrated recently ran about N.C.A.A. violations by the Oklahoma State football team, may take many months of work from a highly paid reporter and editor.
