I like Matt’s approach:

“Newspapers are more religion than business to many of their producers. We need a left turn and it’s nearly impossible to get them to budge a few degrees.”

Yes.

“Perhaps in the next iteration, the news organizations will finally wake up and realize the conversation is happening, and “user-generated content” is not a conversation because it literally bespeaks the fact you don’t consider the user an equal. Let’s get rid of that buzzword. Let’s get rid of this condescension.”
