"Ms. Reyes & Technical.ly Philly: This article and all the added value via links is great reporting. As a 20+year veteran of the digital space and as a Web and Internet specialist, I don't fully understand the controversy in our local newsrooms, like the recent developments at philly.com, the Inky & DN, @thephillyvoice and Billy Penn. This kind of reporting, with its update of new information mixed with the background information via links, is exactly what I need in order to catch up. Thank you. Can I ask for a little op-ed to help make sense of it all? Is this all just a battle between the old vs. the new? Are the Inky & DN failing because of Old White Guy Syndrome? Is the basic lack of understanding of how web advertising works at the crux of this? How much "bad blood" is at work here, between Norcross, Tierney, Lenfest and the journalism community? I realize I'm asking for what can be constituted as gossip, but I feel like everyone's walking on eggshells and being rather obtuse..."
