Diller: Media companies still ‘don’t get it’

By Cory Bergman 

Barry Diller said today’s major media companies still don’t get the internet — with the possible exception of News Corp. Diller said media execs should invest heavily in R&D in technology even if Wall Street might punish them for overspending in the short run. And he said companies should build new products online from scratch, and praised Time Warner’s TMZ.com as an example. Sounds like good advice to me.
