The essential problem for media companies is a failure to recognize the reality of the disruption, which I firmly believe is the personal media revolution fueled by the pureplays. Unless and until traditional media gets into the support game played so well by Google, for example, they'll forever be kicking against the pricks. All true, Alex.

They believe that this is a concern for other local markets, but not theirs. Are they right? Or are they like the typical American when asked about congressmen -- "Congressmen are all crooks, except for mine." And what should the hyperlocal, citizenjourno, adverslut folks be thinking about the threat posed by Google, Yahoo, et. al.? I'm sure they have a similar rationalization, as well. Objectivity rendered impotent by ego. I’m thinking that the good folks at Belo could rationalize away your concern. They believe that this is a concern for other local markets, but not theirs.

Terry Heaton issues a warning to local newspapers that their local markets are in play. The latest challenge is from Yahoo. Says Terry: “his is the most serious threat to local media. The more we obsess over our precious content, the easier it is for outsiders to come in a steal our revenue base (while we sit by and do nothing).” [...] […] The real competition for local media.
