Do state/local governments, and civic organizations, have a plan if their newspapers quit publishing? (Besides point fingers)
Looking forward to meeting new friends and old and toasting #10atvn
My family gathered around the TV set every New Year's Day afternoon for the Rose Bowl. Tomorrow I see my first game there. USC-UCLA.
USC's Annenberg's Center on Communication Leadership (which I'm part of) is developing a strong program on new media and democracy.
Eager to see final report of #infovalet project. Bill Densmore says it's a model that might, might lead to payment for content.
@howardweaver Back home from quick trip to #infovalet. Thought on the plane about my friend Howard Weaver and his brilliant career.
@howardweaver How many people in journalism have won the Pulitzer Prize and been one of the leaders of the digital revolution?
Tom Evslin talking to #infovalet by Skype. Newspapers have big advantages in a networked economy; not starting from zero.
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
