pork, well stated. That lack of vision is similar to what music producers had, as the business went away from CD's and toward digital music. Apple picked up 90% of the portable music player (PMP) market and iTunes calls the shots now. It isn't a unique lack of vision. It seems older industries often fail to embrace paradigm shifts (thinking of the player-piano & live music business versus early radio too!).
I see newspapers trying now but it feels like too little too late. I cannot imagine any of the print editions are long for this world.
