Follow-up thought on yesterday’s iTunes for news defense: When analysts say things like:
Newspaper content is ephemeral by nature … It isn’t the same as downloading a song and keeping it and replaying it. It loses its value almost instantaneously.
…the speaker is not describing a problem with iTunes. She’s describing a problem with the way news is traditionally presented.
It’s a problem that can be solved.
Update 7/26: Jackie Hai makes a similar point, except phrased better and with extra insights. Read it.
