... and the sun sets in the West

Here's one of those news stories that just amazes me. Seems it has taken a study at Harvard to come to the conclusion that news organizations are threatened by the Web. (Link to full story here.) I kid you not. Here's the actual headline: "Web threatens traditional news organizations."

It gets better. Here's the lede:

The Internet is a threat to traditional news organizations, which no longer have
the advantage of being the first to report breaking news online, according to a Harvard University study released yesterday.


Aside from a few stats (which show readership of newspapers declining) this is something you could have seen in 1995.

Show me an article about what newspapers are doing about this and that would be news.
