companies
need to do

23. Most news organizations not yet web-first,
need to be mobile-first

often awkwardly pursuing ‘web-first’ strategies. As
we fight these web battles, I am increasingly coming
to believe that ‘web first’ is what the military would
call fighting the last war. News organizations need a
mobile-first strategy.”
