Will newspapers survive?

Will newspapers survive the Online Age?

As a former print journalist trying to transition to Web writing, I am keenly interested in the answer to this question.

To explore the topic, I interviewed several bloggers who cover the newspaper industry. Among them: Mark Potts, of Recovering Journalist, Paul Gillin, of Newspaper Death Watch, Al Tompkins, of Poynter's Al's Morning Meeting, and Jennifer Saba, of Editor & Publisher's Fitz and Jen blog.

I'd be happy to… Continue

Dipping my toe yet again in the media blogging pond

I've been quiet here since I took my buyout from The Post and Courier in August, but now that I'm more or less self-sustaining as a freelancer/consultant, I've been feeling a great freedom to write more openly about the business and what I see ahead of us.

This morning I posted a set of predictions about the future of news over at my home blog: "2020 Vision: What's Next for News?" and I've been quite happy with the response from all sorts of people I… Continue

NJ CEO magazine suspends operations

Barely one year after it launched, NJ CEO is no more.

The publisher, Wainscot Media, is focusing on the rest of its publications.

While it was a new player in the market, NJ CEO has gone the way of older publications that could not weather this economy.

A new way to connect

The higher-ups here have asked me to draft a plan to bring a longstanding sports feature into the future. It's a Q & A with about 85 local high school students, all interviewed individually, about being their school's "best and brightest."

The paper already has a Facebook account, although it's somewhat neglected.

Presuming the students have a FB or other social networking account, I'm thinking we (the paper) could invite these kids to join a "best and brightest" group… Continue

The live Web: buildings vs. rivers

Doc Searls doesn't say which industry he was talking to, but in describing the static nature of their Web sites, it could easily have been newspapers:

They were architected, designed and constructed. They were conceived and built on the real estate model: domains with addresses, places people could visit. They were necessary and sufficient for the old Static Web, but lacked sufficiency for the Live…

Trying to get a handle on this market bailout business

So, like millions of others this weekend, my wife and I sat and talked about the looming billions (trillions?) set to head to failed Wall Street investment banks.

The big question on our minds: Why, exactly, should we be forced into assuming the debt of those who made bad investments or enticed others into risky (or, as is increasingly coming to light, downright reckless) behavior?

I'm no economist, so I can't speak to the health of worldwide markets. But I do balance a checkbook… Continue

A look at web-native coverage of the news

Go read Scott Karp's post on coverage of the Bear Stearns story. It's an interesting case study in the differences of how journalism works in a web-native world vs. a print world. Of particular interest is the difference in coverage of NYTimes.com (not so interesting) vs. a NYT blog (very interesting).

I'll say it again: If you want to grasp web journalism, you need… Continue
