How apt! Google just bought out  Paper mill in Finland and plans to build a data center at the site. The paper mill cited the reason for the sale to be low profitability and very dismal future prospects for paper sales.

In a round about way, if you’re in the print business, you should be thinking about a “creative” destruction and renovation process, or be planning to exit. If you’re still thinking “online” is a complement to your print/news/magazine business and not the core, I think this example might help that viewpoint change a bit!
