Jeff Jarvis nutzt die Abrechung mit Murdochs Paywall, um gleich noch klarzustellen, dass die Großredaktionen leider perdu sind:
The hard truth is that news organisations will shrink or die. No longer monopolies or oligopolies, the barrier to entry to their kingdom and business reduced to an inch, they simply cannot maintain their old scale, the size and margins that the City demanded. A new ecosystem of news, made up of countless smaller players operating under varying means, motives and business models, will undercut the big, old institutions. The hard iron that once was their advantage – the presses and trucks – now become a killing weight around their craggy necks.
