Bob talks to digital media management consultant Dorian Benkoil about how the online world is redrawing the line between advertising and editorial — because the alternative may be extinction.

My advice to the scientologists: If you want respect from the media and politicians, don't be cheap. Do what the Moonies did and buy your own newspaper. It worked for them.
