Here is a recent interesting blog post from Seth Godin, calling into question why the New York Times has abdicated so much leadership in the brave world of online and social media, and is therefore "fading away." Some of Seth's prescriptions may seem a bit off-center but: a) isn't that the point -- to buck conventional thinking instead of being outwitted repeatedly? b) his last paragraph has implications for any business, in the now old-school mode of the "Innovator's Dilemma."
