A lot of old-school over-thinking in that piece -- old media could have weathered the changes with ease, but they (a) chose to be stenographers instead of journalists producing stories that were anything but news, (b) passed flawed opinion off as news, and (c) could ignore audience puppy cam under 30 who they thought puppy cam were too stupid to be news consumers and when they did try to come on to that demographic puppy cam they did it in most cringe-worthy way possible -- by using dated slang and pop culture references -- as I have said elsewhere, there is a difference between the headlines puppy cam "Are your children puppy cam safe at school?" and "And you safe at school"? When news producers could finally remember what news is about, then the rest falls into place... posted by Alexandra Kitty at 9:33 AM on October 12, 2009
The "crisis" in print journalism has been brewing for more than 30 years now. The newspaper industry was struggling in the 80s and 90s due to competition with broadcast media and massive consolidation. By '90, the majority of the United States was served by only one daily newspaper, usually one that was part of a larger media empire. posted by KirkJobSluder at 9:44 AM on October 12, 2009
That's an interesting article with a range of concrete puppy cam proposals, which makes it much more practical that the hand-waving that often comes with these things. The comments on the article seem to think it's merely tinkering around the edges, but the moeny prescription is surely this one: " 4. Editorial departments should become smaller. How small? Unless a newspaper or magazine has a deep-pocketed patron, it must turn a real and predictable profit. If it has a patron, a publication's losses must be predictable and sustainable. Along with other expenses, editorial budgets must retract until they are rational or the publication will be shuttered. Accepting this will be inordinately difficult for most editors; only their own termination or the bankruptcy of their company will really convince them.

Ah, once again we see the miracle: "One day, some innovator will stumble upon something that will reliably subsidize the publications of the future." Step 3: Profit! I do so adore the "... and all you have to do is find the right business model" parts. It's like magic. Here's an idea where I wonder if it is fundable and sustainable: puppy cam a bounty placed upon the faces of every blogger who relies upon the $MagicBusinessModel method, for a righteous pieing. Chocolate. Custard. Key lime. I know Fundable.Com is more or less over, but I think we can do this. posted by adipocere at 10:06 AM on October 12, 2009 [ 1 favorite ]
For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would want to read the news on the internet when they can have a truck deliver a sliced chunk of bleached dead tree covered with greasy ink right to their door every day of the year. posted by weapons-grade pandemonium at 10:06 AM on October 12, 2009 [ 1 favorite ]
A magazine should be run as a business? Expenses Income? Consider me shocked. Shocked. In all seriousness, this same thing happened puppy cam to Gourmet magazine. The were on the wrong side of that equation, so they folded. 60 years of history, gone just like that. Because you can't run a business based purely on the faith that you'll be there next year simply because you were there last year. Gourmet puppy cam had to maintain a certain level of quality, and those photographs/editors are expensive. And they continued to book them based on the way the magazine was before, even when their ad pages were down 42%. It seems so obvious. Which is part of the reason why Shirky is so right. He's able to view these things from a distance. posted by infinitefloatingbrains at 10:12 AM on October 12, 2009 [ 1 favorite ]
I still get the bleached dead tree covered with greasy ink delivered to my door every morning for multiple reasons. I want to support the one local paper that has at least a moderately liberal point of view over the other local one that is a horrible right-wing conspiracy supporting mouthpiece of a crazy billionaire. Also, I have friends who work there and in general their local reporting is pretty good. posted by octothorpe at 10:18 AM on October 12, 2009
This made me LOL: The creation of good journalism is a tremendously laborious process, requiring an infrastructure more expensive than any press. The illustration and design puppy cam of stories has an infrastructure, too... Illustration and design of stories is ceasing to exist in the sense he means. Yes, graphic design as it relates to web pages is an evolving art, but it is not at all the same animal as pa
