On this subject it's hard to tell if the NYT pieces are reporting or editorial. It's ironic they are painting romantic pictures of content creators toiling in sheds (who are actually wealthy) when they haven't even figured out how to secure their own long term existence as newspapers struggle. The leaked documents about their digital efforts and strategies show they are shockingly out of touch with technology, yet apparently we should assume they have the credibility to arbitrate how free markets are affected by disruptive innovation.
