Holy hyperbole! There's a lot of stuff there that makes me cringe, but
I've had experience with this one:

"Turn your editors and writers into television celebrities. How to include
Internet television content to magazine, newspaper, and online media
Websites. Traditional media Websites without video content will be obsolete 
overnight."

It's true that online video is big in the magazine world, and it makes sense.
I've made some cool videos for a magazine trying to make their editors
into web personalities. Suffice to say, just because you're a good print editor
doesn't mean you can be engaging in front of a camera. 

In fact the biggest mistake this particular magazine made at the outset was
in trying to be... television. They finally realized that trying to look like 
TV was
(a) way too expensive, and (b) ended up looking like bad television.
