Too Late for Newspapers to Turn the Tide?

About two years ago I was the webmaster for 8 (now 4) papers in Central California. I told the Publisher, that I was putting video online and gave him a target date. I was ignored. Then I did it on the target date. I was shooting local video and putting it online. A month later I was told to pull the video because we had no policy and ad people did not want the extra work of selling commercials. I now work for a Business publication in the Central valley in which 75% of the feature stories we do is with video.
