We now know that just targeting Millennials is not a sustainable media business strategy. So: a new test for 'should I adopt this tech?'...

The test media should use for tech adoption: Will my mom use this? Will my mom watch this? Would my grandparents pay for this?

If the answer to any of these questions is No, then you should consider a minimal expenditure, if any, to adopt that technology for news.
-
Like hey: would my mom spend 15 minutes a day wearing a huge hunk of plastic and electronics on her face? Oh... no? Maybe don't buy a VR rig

Sometimes you have to let technology mature or fail without helping or hurting it. For media companies, It's reasonable to occasionally wait

I love new technology and playing with new technology but 'things I enjoy writing code for' is not a viable metric for determining a budget.
