They can't write, "Look, wow, video is online" anymore, so they have to find a new angle in order to justify the article. There's much more slickly produced content online now than last time old media 'discovered' online video. Now it's time to revisit and see what's changed.
In editors' and journalists' minds, there has to be change and conflict to interest the reader. For an article about a changing scene to be interesting, someone has to win and someone has to lose. So if there's more slick video content online now, it must be at the expense of the 'user generated' content. Print journalist teams are being cut back and cut back. They can't sell enough papers. And yet they stick with the same tired old formula. A versus B. Good luck, idiots, as you write yourselves into unemployment. The good news is that we have room for subtlety and truth in online text and video, because we're not working within the confines of a limited print space or TV schedule.
