Adam, glad you had this follow-up. I was wondering what to do with this NY Times Article: Mourning Old Media’s Decline.

We are experiencing technological evolution. The process can be painful. Some companies will go out of business because on an inability to adapt, others will innovate and thrive. Hopefully, the news media will adopt the innovative route and embrace the new opportunities.

Do not forget that these “old media” corporations do almost all the news gathering – an exspensive endevour that the new media repackagers exploit.
