Steve Yelvington on what happened when the McClatchy Company acquired the Star Tribune in 1998: "Innovation tends to happen in small, fast-moving settings. Newspapers aren't innovation studios. They're factories assembling parts (news and advertising) into products. While newspaper people sometimes say the Daily Miracle is a new product every day, in reality it's not that at all. Five days' worth of newspapers are no more "new products" than five consecutive Hummer SUVs rolling off an assembly line."
