Old Media Fights With Itself Over New Media
from the mom-he-keeps-taking-my-stuff dept
There have been plenty of examples of old-media organizations struggling to come to terms with this whole Internet thing, but those struggles evidently happen internally, too. Just like newspaper editors might fight for column inches, editors at BusinessWeek tussled over whether something should go in one of its blogs, or its online edition. As the writer points out, it's basically a wash, with each section having its merits. But it just goes to show old media or new, office politics don't die.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
