Media Guy rants against slo-mo newspaper suicide

"Platform agnostic" is one of those phrases that makes me crazy. Apparently it makes AdAge's Simon Dumenco crazy, too. This week's rant is a must-read, especially for people from the editorial side who may not be tempted to read a journal that focuses on the ad side.

Dumenco is fed up with the whining self-pity: "And yet every day I read a little sob story about how newspapers are withering away as readers are turning away from them. You know what? They should be withering away -- as smudgy physical entities -- and readers should continue to turn to media that’s better suited to (as The Times Magazine would put it) the way we live now."
