XMPie and the “Missing Plug-in” issue

I have seen several posts and blogs reference the error message that designers sometime get when they open up a document stating that  “XMPBackEnd5.pln.InDesignPlugin” is missing.

Is television a dying media?

With today’s announcements of ITV slashing 600 jobs in the UK as their profits down 41% year on year; is there a bigger issue here. Sure there could be a proportion of this announcement that is related to the global economy; but is there another element?
