Perhaps the only advantage print has over online for me is that I was able to sneak a look at this FT article while waiting in an office lobby today without paying for the privilege.

News Corp. does provide full text of the speech though (link from Jeff Jarvis).

On balance I’d say “Too little too late, Rupe” but he won’t go down without a fierce and bitter fight. He almost gets it – but he still sees the environment as one where there are people who sell the news and people who buy it. He talks about a decentralized model, but then seems to think that a huge centralized organization like News Corp. can somehow still dominate it. Interesting too that he drops in a reference to podcasting and video.

Nice article on digital radio on p19 of the FT as well, including podcasting and a plug for podshows. Just in case you’re down the library tomorrow…
