Re: Monday, April 9, 2007
but don't you ever get the feeling that newspapers don't want to be saved? i do feel for the folks in the newsroom (and how this affects all of us), but their lives are absolutely managed by the ridiculous profit margins newspapers enjoyed all the way up to just a few years ago. innovation is not in these cats blood, profit is. last year at convergesouth, we had a norg discussion -- norg standing for an association of journalists in philadelphia that are trying to figure out where they go from here. and while they threw around revolutionary terms, in the end the entire conversation was about how to feed their corporate ownership more dollars in order to receive leeway to innovate their newsrooms. my question to them: why don't you all get some funding and start your own online/off-line newspaper? i'd much rather have a bunch of small teams of pros doing that than watching their current cruise ships run ashore one after another. eh.. There are responses to this message:
