Since I’ve gotten back into my Michael Liebreich interview series, I figured I should get this portion of it up while it’s still ripe.

Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
