"The problem now is that Gannett wants to play like a tech-info company but isn't willing to invest in the R&D needed to leapfrog the competition," a Gannett Blog reader writes in this comment. "It's still trying to stay afloat with its traditional thinking and strategy of cutting, cutting and more cutting of staff and resources."It was a great thing that CEO Craig Dubow set up Gannett's R&D center, the unfortunately named DIG. On the other hand, it sucks it wasn't started until, like, last year -- more than 10 years after the Internet exploded our market. (And did it have to be based in a suburban Virginia corporate office park, surrounded by defense contractors? Not exactly the dream workplace for a young programmer in Silicon Alley.)
