Self-serving. Google news has brought regional, independent and small journalists to the masses... much to the NYT dismay. Digital media by many, including Google, has brought with it digital journalism, journalistic data science, micro-news and multi-source real time news. It's brought readers print, video and interactive information, and machine consumable feeds. I learn more from HN daily than I do most news sources I consume directly. NYT can raise its journalistic and UI game, or it xpcan wither and die. Either way, there will be more alternatives than ever.
