Technology Liberation Front: There Will Be No Bailout for Old Media

    There is some real poetic justice in seeing them getting prevented from adapting by the very big government regulations that they championed as good liberal propaganda outlets all of these years.

    Do not forget that these "old media" corporations do almost all the news gathering - an exspensive endevour that the new media repackagers exploit. If the old media guys were smart they could charge for their services. They say information wants to be free; But if thats the case than there wont be anyone to gather the information in the first place.

    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.
