“I always like to tell people that your competition is not the radio station, the TV station or the major metro in the next town,” he said. “In the long term, your competition is the Web. Your competition is that there are people talking to each other about what’s going on in your home town or the world or Springfield, Illinois or anywhere — and you need to be able to do that too. You don’t want to cut off your content and say you’re not posting this story on what happened in open court today because the TV guy who wasn’t there will get it off your Web site and read it on the news at six o’clock. You can’t scoop yourself.”
