When I got into this industry, many people were still fond of saying they had "ink in their veins". Maybe most of them have expanded their vision, but the current state of the average newspaper website certainly doesn't suggest as much. There is a certain parallel between people who ascribed treason to Iraq war opposers and people who ascribed treason to online evangelists. I think the former are more likely to apologize one day than the latter. That line about middle management is hilarious. If only everyone else in the business had gotten out of the section editors' way 10 years ago, just think where we would all be now. News culture - I like that.
