Greg Schermer of Lee Enterprises at #infovalet says Lee's newsrooms "get it" and audience reach strong. BUT... perfect revenue storm.
... announced that he's been trying to figure out new media and journalism since 1979 and still hasn't succeeded.
First night of new-media conference at U of Mizzou. I was feeling upbeat till Roger Fidler
Headed tomorrow for Bill Densmore's "Valet Economy" conference at U. of Missouri. Eager to see new RJI digs. And to learn a thing or more.
Who's keeping the best track of journalists leaving the business? Names? Positions? How many? Where to? Etc.
@jayrosen_nyu "Poly-vocal newsrooms" sounds right. All hands on deck. Every voice, every tool. Inform, explain, inspire, rail, assure & more
@dangillmor Thanks for McClatchy exception! It does seem much of DC press is being "outsourced." (Newhouse, Copley, Tribune consolidation)
Easy to mock news outsourcing. But ordering up transcript of 20-min. press conference, for $1.70, not so dumb. http://tinyurl.com/557epf
@jayrosen_nyu But I also want clarion voices that take names, tell scary truths, point the way, give hope. Tough bar for even explainers.
@jayrosen_nyu I'd been with Clark on this. http://is.gd/9FHF BUT.... NYT columns on financial crisis much more effective than news stories.
First-ever Bay Area Thanksgiving. Can't wait.
@jeffjarvis For all the interview's flaws (big/small), it was illuminating too. And widens understanding. (Mine anyway.) http://bit.ly/tK97
@yelvington "Old media stalwarts, hear this:Digerati aren't stacking deck.." It's true in reverse, too. Big majority on both sides I bet.
The best work on the financial mess, before and after implosion, has been by columnists (Morgensen, Pearlstein etc.), by a mile.
@howardweaver Jan Garbarek is fun Sunday morning music by which to read the newspapers. Hat tip, and more, to Howard.
@jeffjarvis I know different people look to you for different things. Your arms-wide-open approach at CUNY meeting & in new post reaches me.
Great quote in NYT from USC student: Future journalists must “build their careers more guerrilla-style..." http://tinyurl.com/5q5z8t
@jeffjarvis Mr. Machine's state-of-play http://bit.ly/MGFG on future news models is a helpful pulling-together.
Two spheres of performance at Lakes-Kings game. One by Kobe Bryant; one by everybody else.
Heading for Lakers game, courtesy of Geneva, who will be part of halftime ceremony awarding Chick Hearn scholarships to 2 USC students.
