New York - Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) said late Thursday that it will install CEO Jeff Bewkes as its new chairman, replacing Dick Parsons at year's end. Analysis: Media Companies like Time Warner Need To Become Enablers Of ContentAuthored by Paul Sweeting on August 11, 2008 - 7:27am.
Two items from the weekend papers had Media Wonk shaking his head over
the state of the discussion, at least in mainstream outlets, around the
impact of digital technology on the media business--which may be one
reason why mainstream outlets--newspapers in particular--are having
some a difficult time absorbing that impact. One, which appeared in
Sunday's New York Times business section, was a long profile of Time Warner and its new CEO, Jeff Bewkes. The other, which ran in Saturday's Wall Street Journal (I know, who reads the Saturday Journal? Loser bloggers in need of material, that's who.), was an op-ed by Elizabeth Lee Wurtzel (Prozac Nation)
headlined, "The Internet is ruining America's Movies and Music."
Without putting too fine a point on it, it was one of the dumber things
Media Wonk has read on the subject in a long time.
