You might as well just take out "newspaper" and put (arbitrary old model content industry) The examples cited are endemic problems in leadership, organization and focus. I worked in newspaper for 6 years, then the music business for 6. There are really smart people in both industries, most of whom have left or are leaving because at the top, the motivation is to bolster justification for existence rather than innovate. Its often easier, and more profitable to let the ship sink. Sad as that is. Of note, some of my former colleagues at the paper have done interesting things, like Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineLand
