However, as someone who has worked in an organization (not a newspaper) where the CEO was very resistant to online endeavors, I have to say that as an employee is the situation you described above, it can be really tough. In this organization I worked for, basically, if we wanted to move forward with anything online (I was in the marketing department there), we just did it and often suffered the consequences. I wonder if it's going to take some passionate journalists to go out on a limb at their workplaces and fight for the Internet. I'm just not sure editors are going to change on their own, without some persuading. I do agree that the editor’s of these papers should stay on and try to adapt to these changing times.
