Quote, unquote: The machine is a tool for us

There is a defeatist attitude on the part of traditional media. Everyone is running around yelling, 'Oh, the future is all digital!' That's simplistic and untrue. Digital media is a tool for the creators. We don't exist in a science fiction nightmare in which we are slaves to the machine. The machine is a tool for us. No great magazines are going out of business. The New Yorker and Vanity Fair aren't going anywhere.

-- Bob Guccione Jr., the founder of Spin and Gear, explaining to Forbes why he thinks most of the problems of print media are self-made
