Disney redesigns website for 3rd time in five years

From a just-published New York Times story:

Disney's struggles online underscore how difficult it is for traditional media companies to compete in this arena. Challenges include the pool of available talent. If you are a prominent technology executive, or a creative young designer, you are more likely to join Google or found a start-up, not toil deep inside a media conglomerate.

    Just think...in that same 3 year time period USAT has gone through four SVPs, three publishers, two editors, two CMOs, and countless VPs of marketing. I say Disney is way ahead of the game.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
