Video killed the radio star....
Newspapers closing everywhere. Broadcast networks losing their audiences and primacy. The models for the music and video industries under threat....
I'm sorry to see several of these historic newspapers go, and yes, there are a host of issues coming from the closings, but c'mon, it's been coming inexorably for a decade.
I mean, who could have foreseen dislocating technologies?
(The Buggles reference may not make sense if you aren't tight to my generation. It was the first MTV video ever broadcast, and, within music, it marked the change of the world.)

Yeah, but it was also the death of "rock" for things that looked better on TV, new wave, britney, boy bands....
On the other hand, I would have loved to see glam or the late 60's hard psychedelic doing videos.
There are real issues with the papers closing, (like news turning into britney,) but it's been coming since CNN started and they've largely refused to change.
