Schadenfreude . . . read all about it

A couple articles in the Toronto Star (U.S. papers see digital writing on wall) and the Globe and Mail (How much should newspapers give away?) about the travails of the newspaper business coming to terms with the communications shifts resulting from the Internet. A clip from the TorStar piece quotes an American study:

Abandoning the News, which adds to the already grim statistics on newspaper-reading habits of demographically desirable 18-34 year olds, emphasises how newspaper execs have either kept their head in the cyber-sand or reacted too slowly in developing new products.

I'm just so pleased to know that I'm not the only one trying to figure out such challenges in an environment where the traditional compass no longer knows true north.
