Who sucks worse: Newspapers or TV Stations?

12 Feb 2008

Commenting on a Broadcasting & Cable piece on the Web and TV stations, Angela Grant says:

It seems like the attitude of TV stations towards the web, according to the article, is the same type of attitude that has sunk newspapers to the level they're at today. We've both got to get to the bottom of these insecurities and turn them upside down

There's more.

Interesting. It's always been fascinating to me that TV stations are the pioneers of "electronic" media yet are so far behind on adopting websites.

Props to KNS for being out ahead of the curve for newspapers.

Locally, WATE and WBIR both seem to be catching on.

Thanks for the kind words and yes, our TV competitors are not asleep.
