He said it,,people now are getting their information online and are not willing to pay for something they feel they can get for free.
The fact they don't understand is soon there won't be any media to check on, merely opinions, guesses, and out and out lies for news places. And those that either aren't interested in electronic news or can't afford them,,,,tough.
I don't think we have too much to worry about. There will always be big advertising supported websites that give us info.

I don't think this is true, Newspapers also thought this for many years but advertisers pulled back slowly but surely to the new medium the Internet, it can be said for many magazines. Not sure what the new information highway will be but already everywhere you go is bogged down with a huge amount of ads and like commercials on TV you begin to route around stuff to avoid them. You Tube has advertising for 30 seconds on many vids.

Sadly you don't realize that someone has to do that work and they expect to be paid.

If you're lumping me in with that, I pay for the access to Pro Football Focus, and once Football Outsiders drops their new book, I'll be buying a year's subscription to that, too. I repeat my prior statement, that it's sad when a business can't figure out how to change with the times.
