Interesting!
I don’t think consumers see as huge a difference between paper and online, as the publishers do.
To the average consumer there’s just good/entertaining/informative information or entertainment … or not.
Do they care if they watch a show on Tv or catchup online later? Nope. They just want to watch the show.

Interesting point about “renting eyeballs”.
How much input do in-house marketers have?

Read Marshall McLuhan. As content proliferates, the medium begins to play a more important role as differentiator. Example: 3D cinemas, LCD vs plasma, hardcopy vs softcopy, MP3 vs CD. Consumer do care, and increasingly so. There’s a reason why vinyl record production has risen continuously since 2006.
