Grab: ...I was hit with the vision of Dow Jones emerging from this process [of "reassess(ing) the ways it delivers news across all its print and online properties] with the bold and aggressive decision to make The Journal the first major newspaper to convert fully to a digital model.
and
...certain forms of media that are currently print-based, particularly daily newspapers, must explore the possibility that there are more reader-friendly and cost-efficient ways to produce and distribute their content....It's still surprisingly difficult to get traditional media executives to admit this. But their resistance seems based on an emotional attachment to ink on paper, a deeply held -- if largely indefensible -- sense that a newspaper's soul is inextricably linked to its format.
