More than 200 years after the country’s first newspaper was published, the industry is faced with what is a classic example of the innovators dilemma. Should they cannibalize existing sales and invest in the future that is digital, or milk the cash cow some more?

Earlier this year, Business Standard Limited sold its BS Motoring magazine to Delhi Press. At the time of sale in April, the magazine incorporated in 1998, had racked up losses.
Few days ago, much to the disappointment its loyal readers, the Times Group pulled the plug on “Times Crest,” the Saturday special it printed for the discerning reader.
