Because people -- almost all of them outside the business -- have been saying basically that about journalism ("Business models are changing! The marketplace is being reborn! The very bonds between particles are undergoing a quantum shift! Synergy!") ever since non-repro blue pencils were invented.
Admittedly, the paradigm-shift stuff is true once in a great while, but the hit rate is generally low. So while I agree that it probably is true this time, I nevertheless cut journalists a lot of slack for their natural skepticism, which has probably served them well many times in the past.

A secretary at a place I used to work did this! She became very good at painting terrible pictures and now she spends every other weekend in a park trying to sell her paintings to passersby. She has incredible stamina!
