Daily Show Nails New York Times for “Aged News”

There have been lots of posts about The Daily Show’s Jason Jones and his takedown on The New York Times on Wednesday night’s show.
For me, the deadliest moment came when Jason asked about the “aged news” in the paper. He challenged an editor to show him anything in the paper that had happened today. Clearly, he was unable to do this.
The point, however, is not that large news organizations are a dying breed but that the physical newspapers they continue to insist are their core business are basically obsolete.
Instead of worrying about how to charge for content online, newspaper companies should be wholly focused on how to get the hell out of the printing and distribution business.
