I know that they have video on their site, but honestly, it seems like website-based news really really leverages newspaper strengths more than TV news strengths. Like, I’ll hit cnn.com when there’s some major national incident happening, but I just promptly flip off whatever streaming video stuff they try to play. I want to use their website more like a newspaper than a cable news channel. I don’t care about their famous anchorpeople or their 3d transitions or whatever.
I think that at the end of the day, there are going to be some online subscription news stuff there for the long haul, but I’m a little skeptical that it’ll necessarily be the TV news guys that survive, rather than the newspaper guys.
