> "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." I think this is both wrong and incorrectly applied to Newspapers in this case. I would say rather :: "It is difficult to get a man to understand his salary may go away if the industry changes while he is still earning money the old way." That's not too Luddite now is it?? I mean people faced with working their existing jobs and seeing innovation taking place are going to take a suck-it-and-see approach. . With the credit boom of the past decade swelling advertising revenues, the erosion of income has been overlooked. Newspapers regarded internet as a loss-leader, helped by the small number of people using the Internet. Now there is a bust, and the Internet is a force, the Newspapers are looking for every avenue to earn money (fair play). . That is very far from the simplistic, incorrect view that people ignore a problem because they earn money that way.
