how the web changed media economics

after the jump: an insightful (if grammarless) examination of what the web has done to all media from an economic standpoint.

what amazes us, sportsfans, is that newspapers (in particular) continue to live in a state of denial about the fact that they've been pushing up daisies for years, and are now beginning to stink up the joint. no amount of layoffs is going to change that. their business model has come and gone, and the world has moved on without them.

c'est la vie.

(meanwhile, their stock falls like the public's expectations of obama. sidebar: we think we might finally have a nickname for the prez. how does 'the brown bomber' grab ya? apt? racist? misnomer? magically delicious? at least he's better than tricky dickless. so far.)
