Depending on the organization, it may not be "panic-induced" at all. The NYT is on fairly solid financial footing and have been doing innovative things for a long time because of their heavy investment in developer and data positions, including bringing in Jeremy, who's since put forth CoffeeScript, underscore, and backbone.js

There are other newspapers that are floundering and are basically looking for someone to take care of the CMS and anytime the server flops. But this is something you discern from their job description and initial inquiry. So, to say, "who'd want to work for that dying industry" is like vowing to never work for a tech startup because of their numerous failures in comparison to the few success stories.

Fair point, but isn't the NYT the exception that validates my gross generalization?
