But one thing to learn from Google's acquisitions is that there is still room for entrepreneurial innovation. There lies potential, but that ability is a far cry from the culture and speed with which any traditional company I have ever seen is moving. If I owned or ran a large media corporation, I would invest in startups or spawn new busineses completety separate from the existing businesses. Hearst does so. That is the only way to compete in this landscape. And let the traditional companies continue to try to compete. But I think the conflicts of interest are too great in many of them that by the time they are ready to really change, the market they sought after will have been filled by an up and coming that was willing to cut their throats. They will never “match up” and Google will never move towards the economics of a newspaper business.

Newspapers left in the dust. 'As many have said, it’s a one-trick pony, but with the best trick found in the 21st century digital business. It knows that business is maturing, so we can see the theme in its company-a-month buying spree: mobile, social, video.' [...] [...] The 'newsonomics of profit' rhymes with Google.

That will eat into its profits. Plus, if it is reclassified as a media compay, its stock market value will fall through the floor. No wonder it doesn't want the world to look at it as a media company but it is: it publishes pages of content with advertising around it. What's *not* being a media company about that? It's not a technology company. You can't buy any technology from Google. It is a technology-enabled media company. The newspaper companies have to maintain large editorial teams but Google does not (at least not yet.) I think the economics of Gogle's business will move towards the economics of the newspaper business over the next few years.

The numbers are staggering when you look at the way media is going. So many newspaper people claim there's no money on the internet...ha! I think they'll eventually figure out ways to make the money match up, but these growing pains are getting too harsh. Great post Ken.
