It’s a classic variation of the “innovator’s dilemma“. Large,
legacy publishers recognize that their business models are changing

the risky new technologies that may–or may not–rescue their companies.

new solution: innovation labs. In the past few years, legacy publishers
from the New York Times Company to Condé Nast have launched small
departments dedicated to exploring potential company-wide innovations.
