Murdoch notices that Net thingy

"Rupert Murdoch urged newspaper editors Wednesday to embrace the Internet," says the story on Fox News:

"The challenge for each of us in this room is to create an Internet presence that is compelling enough that users make it their home page. Just as people traditionally started their day with coffee and a newspaper, in the future I hope that the way they start their day online will be with coffee and our Web site."

Isn't this the headline that every freaking media company ran in the fall of 1996? [Technorati tag: fox]

I think that was also the year that an apocryphal CEO barked to his subordinate: "Get the president of that Internet Co. on the phone! I want to have lunch with him!"
