If newspapers were startups that were "pivoting" would you be as critical of their changes?

- enraged_camel 14y agoThat doesn't make any sense. Startups are not fully invested in any product or process, so they are nimble. Newspapers however are the exact opposite of startups: they have been here for a very long time. They already have well-established products. They don't have the luxury of just flailing around by throwing shit on a wall and seeing what sticks.
- hvs 14y agoActually, since they have more money and are more established, I would argue that they do have the luxury of throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks. The reason we have companies in this country that are over 100 years old is because they were able to pivot long after they were established.
