The real story: http://www.reuters.com/article/reutersEdge/idUSTRE56806T2009.... ShortFormBlog contributes nothing.

The point of the story is that media moguls became moguls for the glamor. Bigness is not an asset anymore. The future moguls will be mini-moguls. It mentions new media, but doesn't try to make the point that media moguls are a dying breed because print is a dying breed. This is Reuters and it probably doesnt want to make that point.


Not if Michael Arrington has his way.
