Number of comments: 1 Here’s my talk on CUNY’s New Business Models for News at our summit in New York:
Jeff Jarvis on New Business Models for News 2009 from CUNY Grad School of Journalism on Vimeo.
And here’s my latest Prezi:
[...]
-
Number of comments: 4 On today’s On Point, Michael Wolff, Steve Brill, and I talked about Murdoch and Google and the show’s blog quoted me thusly:
But News Corp isn?t the only one making the mistake here. I think the mistake that Google has made in this ? and I?m an admirer of [...]
-
Number of comments: 5 Tweet: A tweet paraphrased my link-economy line and showed me I’ve been saying more than I thought I have. **
In Twitter today, one @rpaskin paraphrased something I’ve been saying – and said again in my talk at Web 2.0 Expo Tuesday (generously covered in that link by Aneta [...]
-
I had the privilege of being on This Week in Tech with Leo Laporte, John Dvorak, and Baratunde Thurston right after appearing on This Week in Google with the aforementioned Leo, Gina Trapani, and Mary Hodder. Much fun. [...]
-
Number of comments: 11 Tweet: How bankruptcy can help a newspaper get theah from heah. Don’t squander it. **
I fear that Tribune Company – and other newspaper companies – will come out of bankruptcy having squandered the opportunity it presents to rebuild from the ground up.
At the New Business Models for (Local) [...]

Number of comments: 19 
(Thanks, Ed Reading) [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 There’s been a swine flu of stupidity spreading about the Murdoch meme of blocking Google from indexing a site’s content (to which Google always replies that you’ve always been able to do that with robots.txt – so go ahead if you want). I love that The Reach Group (TRG), [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 At last! A week of videos comes to an end. Here are the last of the videos from the aborted v-book edition of What Would Google Do?:
Here I ask how Googley headhunters would operate:
And, finally, a video from Oxford about the future of the university:
[...]
-
Number of comments: 1 And they never end: Here’s the sixth day of videos from the aborted v-book edition of What Would Google Do?:
A touch dated now, here’s a video I made on my Flip a year ago arguing that it was the Googley way to do video because it serves the [...]
-
Number of comments: 21 I have an op-ed in today’s Welt Kompakt newspaper in Germany giving my advice to a German mediasphere that I see becoming more protectionist. It’s not online (ironically) but so you can see the play, a PDF of it is here and here. [Update: Here's the piece [...]
-
Number of comments: 2 And they never end: Here’s the fifth day of videos from the aborted v-book edition of What Would Google Do?:
First, a lesson in turning a challenge into an opportunity from the German publishers of the Wikipedia Lexicon:
This one’s probably not for you. It was intended as an appendix [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 At yesterday’s New Business Models for (Local) News summit at CUNY, I ran what I called a reverse panel with big media folks – NY Times, Washington Post, Gannett, Star-Ledger, Impremedia, Politico – sitting up front but ordered to listen to the wishes and needs of the [...]
-
Number of comments: 2 Sick of me yet? There’s more to come. Here are two more videos from the aborted v-book edition of What Would Google Do?:
An argument to connect even the customers of products into their own instant communities so they can share what they know (attn: GaryVee):
And how to win [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Last week, I said that the future of news is entrepreneurial (not institutional). Today, a sequel: The future of business is in ecosystems (not conglomerates or industries).
At the Foursquare conference last week, I was struck by the miss-by-a-mile worldviews held by the chiefs of big, old conglomerates and [...]
-
Another two videos from the aborted v-book edition of What Would Google Do?:
In this, I recreate at my whiteboard slides some of you have seen about a process v product view of our emerging world:
And introducing Schwagman:
[...]
-
Number of comments: 3 Yesterday, I threatened you with a stream of videos that were supposed to be in a v-book edition of What Would Google Do?. Here are two more.
First, a discussion about beta-think – releasing products as betas to learn and collaborate – and the end of the myth of [...]
-
Number of comments: 14 In addition to What Would Google Do? the book, the ebook, the Kindle book, the audio book, the video, and the PowerPoint, we were planning to release a so-called V-book with videos interspersed throughout the digital text. Never happened. So in a bald effort to [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Hey, Verizon (& Google & Apple & Dell & BestBuy….).
I want to try the Droid but I am already in indentured servitude to AT&T for my iPhone (and have no particular desire to lose it). As much of a gadget geek as I am (I’m no Leo Laporte – [...]
-
Number of comments: 3 Here in a bit more friendly video format is the keynote I gave to the Munich Media Days (in English) a week ago, which I linked to earlier. I decided to be blunt and tough and tell them I was worried about the protectionist talk I’ve been hearing from Germany [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I’m fretting about forgetting things, not just because I’m getting older (on top of middle-aged surgery and its inconveniences and a dicky ticker I now have sciatica; I am a parody of age). I’m fretting about us all forgetting things because we’re using Twitter.
Twitter is temporary. Streams [...]
-
Number of comments: 3 Podcasts, podcasts, everywhere…..
This month’s MediaTalkUSA for the Guardian is up with guests Jay Rosen of NYU and Michael Tomasky of the Guardian. We talk about Politico’s rear-guard action against the Washington Post with its new local service; the election; the White House and Fox; and government support of journalism. [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The future of news is entrepreneurial.
There’s a lot in that statement. It says: The future of news is not institutional… The news of tomorrow has yet to be built…. The structure – the ecosystem – of news will not be dominated by a few corporations but likely will be [...]
-
Number of comments: 19 Actually, I already voted for Chris Daggett. Sent in my absentee ballot the other day.
To my New Jersey friends, I urge you to take the pledge, vote for Daggett, and declare independence from the corrupt and incompetent party politics of this state.
I’m a life-long Democrat but this time, [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Kai Diekmann, the head of Bild, the gigantic German newspaper, is a journalistic celebrity of a sort we don’t have here: utterly charming, lustily egotistical, brashly opinionated, infuriating to those he infuriates (a friend of mine calls him Germany’s Roger Ailes), beloved to his fans, witty, quick, clever, innovative, [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 We just got a glimpse of Howard Stern’s next life, I think. I was running errands today listening to a repeat of the show from this week when I heard Stern talk with a caller about what he could do on the internet. Thanks to my handy Sirius Satellite radio, [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 My prostate cancer was caught with multiple PSA tests that weren’t out of the normal range but that were rising fast. That led to a biopsy, which found cancer in 1 of 12 samples, meaning it apparently was caught early. That led to surgery, which confirmed my malignancy but [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Before reaching their dangerous conclusion – recommending government supported journalism in a report called the Reconstruction of American Journalism – former Washington Post editor Leonard Downie and Columbia journalism prof Michael Schudson make some basic and, I believe, profoundly mistaken assumptions, namely: “That journalism is now at risk, [...]
-
Number of comments: 22 (Note: I’m going to link to the Financial Times three times in this post. You’re allowed two views a month at FT.com before being forced to register. If you’re conserving, I suggest you read the second two FT links.)
The Financial Times’ John Gapper gave my book a bad review [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 This morning, I walked up the street to my neighbor Chris Daggett’s house and recorded this video about his independent race for governor in New Jersey, drawing comparisons between his campaign and Jesse Ventura’s. At this stage in the campaign, Ventura was polling 15%; Daggett’s latest numbers have him at [...]
-
Number of comments: 1 Now that The New York Times Company has decided not to sell the Boston Globe, DailyDeal.com wonders whether the company should convert Boston to a hyperlocal-based business.
Well, our Knight Foundation-funded New Business Models for News can be a roadmap. Indeed, the 5-million-person hypothetical market we worked on [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 You may not want to read this post. It defines TMI. But in the interest of continuing to chronicle the saga of my prostate cancer – for the benefit, I hope, of those who follow – the time has come to write about my penis. Specifically, what it [...]
-
Number of comments: 23 Two events of recent days underscore for me how old-media executives are not comprehending the collaboration economy: how it adds value, how it creates efficiency, how it operates under new currencies.
Add this to the other blind spots these old media powers have about the new economic reality: the [...]
-
I’m putting out a call for local bloggers within traveling distance from New York – and for journalists who’ve left their jobs or are thinking about leaving to start local news blogs – to attend a series of workshops at CUNY on Nov. 11.
The first half of the [...]
-
Number of comments: 8 My neighbor down the street, Chris Daggett, is running for governor as an independent in New Jersey. Yeah, sure, an independent won’t ever make it in this contentious, party-run state. But tonight his wife called to say that in the morning he’s getting the endorsement of the Star-Ledger, the [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I found this Associated Press story this morning because of a tweet and then I retweeted adding value along the way, a one-word reason to read it: “Fools.” Many retweets ensued leading to many more readers.
Welcome to the future of [...]
-
Number of comments: 20 Is this a story or an ad? It matters.
I went to Radio Shack today to buy wires and plugs to hook up my iPhone because the damned car radio has no plug and the damned FM kluges don’t work. I bought the wrong wires, realized it immediately, and returned [...]
-
Here’s this month’s edition of the Guardian Media Talk USA podcast with me at the helm and the NY Times’ Brian Stelter and Time’s James Poniewozik on the couch. This month: No newspaper mourning, mewling, and misery! We talk TV – Letterman, talk shows, the fall season – plus [...]
-
Number of comments: 2 I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to read this in a Powell’s Books interview with Margaret Atwood, many of whose books I’ve read and enjoyed:
Jill: And what was the other book you were going to mention?
Atwood: This is a confession. I’m reading a book called What [...]
-
Number of comments: 3 NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik came to CUNY to report on the effort to find new business models for news, including our Knight Foundation funded presentation at the Aspen Institute. It turned into a bit of a profile of yours truly.
[...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The Federal Trade Commission just released rules to regulate product endorsements not just in advertisements but also on blogs. (PDF here; the regs don’t start until page 55.)
It is a monument to unintended consequence, hidden dangers, and dangerous assumptions.
Mind you, I hate one of its apparent targets: [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Shocking news this morning that Gourmet, the Talmud of food, is closing – less shocking that Condé Nast is also folding Cookie, Modern Bride, and Elegant Bride, all apparently a case of the other Monolo dropping after McKinsey dug into Condé’s closets.
(Disclosures: I worked in Condé for [...]
-
Number of comments: 3 I got email this morning from someone getting ready to present to the European Parliament on the changes in journalism from their perspective. He said: “Given the shift to hyper-local journalism, being a supra-national body seems to be a problem. It is a particular problem for the EP in that [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Leo Laporte, creator of This Week in Tech and the TWiT network of podcasts, spoke before the Online News Association this week and presented the very model of the new media company: small, highly targeted, serving a highly engaged public, and profitable. (Full disclosure: I am a panelist on TWiT’s [...]
-
Number of comments: 10 The only way that journalism is going to be sustainable is if it is profitable – and out of that market relationship comes many other benefits: accountability to the public it serves; independence from funders’ agendas; growth; innovation. This is the future for journalism we envisioned in the New [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 My surgeon called with the results of the pathology report on my prostate cancer. “It’s all good news,” he said. The cancer was contained to the prostate and had not spread to the lymph nodes. “As far as I’m concerned,” he said, “you’re cured.”
From the moment of my diagnosis, [...]
-
Number of comments: 17 I’m getting ready for a talk this week at Philanthropy New York about giving and What Would Google Do? So I’d like your help on brainstorming what Googley philanthropy looks like. How would a transparent, networked, collaborative, even open-sourced, process-oriented, beta philanthropy as a platform operate?
Not being wealthy, I [...]
-
Number of comments: 21 A conversation with our Knight Foundation friends at Aspen inspired me to think through what an X Prize for news could accomplish. Then this week’s report in the New York Times about the awarding of the NetFlix X Prize – and the far greater value it created, not just [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I spent yesterday marking the dangers around Sidewiki. Today, I’ll say what I think Google should do with it: close the toolbar app, open it up to the entire conversation, and turn it purely into an API. And probably buy Technorati.
I read a great deal of the discussion [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Google just introduced Sidewiki, which enables anyone to comment on a page using Google’s toolbar.
I see danger.
Google is trying to take interactivity away from the source and centralize it. This isn’t like Disqus, which enables me to add comment functionality on my blog. It takes comments away from my [...]
-
Number of comments: 10 It has been a week and a half since my prostate surgery and I’m doing great. I’m walking a couple miles a day (can’t run for a few weeks but even when I do run it’s not running), eating normally, sleeping well, now able to sit and stand and cough [...]
-
Number of comments: 6 This morning, Glam.com – the model of the new network model of media – extended its Twitter aggregator, Tinker.com, into news at Tinker.com/news. It’s very simple and that’s what makes it intriguing: headlines mixed with current discussion of them.
Yesterday, New York Times digital strategy head Martin Nisenholtz also [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 In an essay that, on first blush, ranks near to Clay Shirky’s seminal thinking-the-unthinkable think piece, Paul Graham argues that we never paid for content:
In fact consumers never really were paying for content, and publishers weren’t really selling it either. If the content was what they were [...]
-
Number of comments: 7 When Google Wave was announced, I got all jittery-happy about the possibilities it presented for news. Now, from a Belgian site, via a German site, I find a video interview with Wave’s project manager, Stephanie Hannon, speculating about its use in news:
Google Wave, une opportunité pour [...]
-
Number of comments: 16 Journalism is a business – that is how it is going to sustain itself; that is a key precept of the New Business Models for News Project. But is it still an industry dominated by companies and employment?
In the first part of his analysis of the news [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Few of you should care but for those who do, here’s a chronicle of my experience in robotic surgery for prostate cancer. I post it here mainly for the ongoing Google value to those who follow me into the O.R.
 At 9a Monday, I walked into the [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 My prostate surgery went fine. I’ve been tweeting it. Will blog more when I get a full keyboard at home, later today, I hope. [...]
-
Number of comments: 16 In addition to the podcast (below), the New Business Models for News Project is the subject of my column in the Guardian’s media section. Here’s the full text:
There is a future for news ? a sustainable and once-again profitable future with the prospect of expanding and improving journalism [...]
-
Number of comments: 2 The latest edition of the Guardian MediaTalkUSA podcast, which I present, features the work of CUNY’s New Business Models for News Project and discussion with two folks who know hyperlocal: Deb Galant, founder of Baristanet, whom I crowned the queen of hyperlocal; and Jim Willse, editor of [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 Zephyr Teachout has a good column in tomorrow’s Washington Post predicting the disaggregated university. It’s very much in harmony with what I wrote in What Would Google Do? – that complete chapter here. I also gave a talk on the topic via Skype to the Media Education Summit [...]
-
Number of comments: 8 Yesterday I tweeted about Google’s offer to bring its checkout to enable micropayments for newspapers: “A cynical act, I’d say: a tool no one uses used to coopt foes on a useless quest.” In response, Charlie Williams tweeted, “How about savvy & low risk?” And I said that savvy and [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Compare these two columns about Twitter: one by Mike DeArmond, a sports hack in Kansas City, and one by Roger Cohen in The New York Times. They are each frustrated that Twitter doesn’t fit into their set-in-concrete view of what they do and what journalism is – and [...]
-
Number of comments: 10 As I prepare to go under the robot on Monday, I’ve found that the process includes drugstore embarrassments. They’ve only just begun.
It starts with Viagra. As I’ve explained, a man’s plumbing doesn’t do the two things it’s supposed to do for at least some time after the prostate [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Google has an image problem – not a PR problem (that is, not with the public) but a press problem (with whining old media people). Google is trying hard – too hard, perhaps – not to argue with the guys who still buy ink by the barrel. Google is only [...]
-
Number of comments: 4 Peter Day, one of the best radio interviewers I know and the very best in business coverage, talks about media mayhem this week and I got a chance to discuss the New Business Models for News Project with him. Take a listen here. [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I was growling at my iPhone on the train this morning as I read a prominently promoted New York Times story about the rumored Chelsea Clinton wedding that didn’t happen. Sixth graph:
The persistence of the rumor despite the lack of tangible evidence says something about today?s free-for-all Internet [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 In newspapers’ game of revenue roulette, there’s a lot of talk lately about their trying to create membership plans. The New York Times and the Guardian, to name two, reportedly have visions of tote bags, mugs, and events in their heads. And I think that’s a fine idea. No salvation. [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 At the Aspen Institute FOCAS event, where we presented our CUNY New Business Models for News, there came to be an unspoken debate – that is, an idea thrown out but never really engaged – about whether there is a crisis in news and journalism.
I now say that [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Like priests looking for someone to sacrifice, Alan Mutter, Steve Buttry, Howard Owens, and Steve Yelvington have been on the lookout for the sin that led newspapers astray. For Mutter, it’s not charging; for Buttry, it’s not innovating; for Owens, it’s tying online dingies to print [...]
-
Number of comments: 7 CUNY is streaming my opening lecture & discussion with the incoming interactive journalism class at 2p ET today:
[...]
-
Number of comments: 25 In today’s Daily News, David Hinckley and Talkers’ Michael Harrison speculate that when Howard Stern’s Sirius XM contract is up, he could use the internet to start his own broadcasting company.
Indeed, he could. Technology makes it possible: We could listen to him – and watch him – on [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The newspaper industry should be sobered by Martin Langeveld’s calculations, based on the Newspaper Association of America’s misplaced bragging about Nielsen internet data, that only about a half one one percent of time spent online is spent on newspaper sites.
It is clear that if journalists want to [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The Associated Press is refusing to sign for credentials under the conditions put on control of game coverage by the SEC. OK, I think what the SEC is doing is silly, too, especially now that every damned fan in the stands can tell the world what’s happening in a [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 Line by line, newspapers’ businesses are falling apart as they shrink and become less efficient for advertisers against the competition and reach of online. Consider:
* Coupon giant Valassis abandons newspaper distribution for the postal service in three more markets. Says Crains: “The move represents the acknowledgement that newspaper [...]
-
Number of comments: 11 On the Media’s Bob Garfield interviewed me about the CUNY New Business Models for News Project.
I made one error: the new news organization’s editorial staff after three years is 46; total is 90.
Bob was nice enough to plug my book. Now I’ll plug his, [...]
-
Number of comments: 21 Twitter announced a geolocation API today and it set my mind to spinning with implications that I tweeted like a Gatling gun:
* For news, it would be possible to verify that witnesses reporting what they see are where they say they are. Twitpics can be geotagged.
* Local [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 We presented our CUNY New Business Models for News at the Aspen Institute and on the web yesterday. I’ve been sitting in meetings nonstop, so I haven’t had the chance to read all the reaction yet. But so far, we’ve met our goals: to get these models and specifics [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 Today we’re presenting the work of CUNY’s New Business Models for News Project at the Aspen Institute’s Forum on Communication and Society .
Here is the presentation, which uses new software from Prezi. Just click within the screen once the presentation starts and you will advance [...]
-
Number of comments: 22 The Guardian asked me to write a column about the transparent life and my writing about my prostate cancer. Here it is:
* * *
In the company of nudists, no one is naked and there is nowhere to hide. In this space and on my blog, I have been [...]
-
Our third TWiG podcast is up. And here’s the video. [...]
-
Number of comments: 17 I was asked by a reporter today what I thought of TV companies revolting against Nielsen and threatening to start their own measurement company. My response:
I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen as I’ve argued for sometime that the old sample-based (that is, Nielsen-family) structure of [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Arnon Mishkin says he has found the fallacy of the link economy but I think his argument is itself built on some fallacies, among them:
* If links are not valuable, then fine, get rid of them: refuse all aggregators’ and search engines’ robots, complain so much about links that [...]
-
Number of comments: 9 Finally catching up with David Folkenflik’s NPR piece yesterday about Columbia J-school’s efforts to help news companies update:
And then there’s the BBC Media Show about pay walls and collaborative hyperlocal and more; listen here.
Warning: You’ll hear me on both. [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I just did an interview about my cancer with Steve Langford from Howard 100 News, who really is an intrepid reporter. I told him I could certainly not describe the full details of going through this with other media outlets (not that a single one of them would care) because [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I have cancer, prostate cancer.
When the doctor told me, he said that if you’re going to get it, this is the one to get. It made feel as if I’d just gotten an upgrade on Cancer Air. It was caught very early, found in only 5 percent of one of [...]
-
Number of comments: 24 The Guardian asked me for quick comment on news that Rupert Murdoch, Mr. MySpace, plans to charge for content. I pulled off the road on my way home and wrote this.
One line trimmed out for space: The debate has been about emotions and entitlement, not economics. [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Thomson Reuters digital boss Chris Ahearn stands up in favor of the link economy (as opposed to someone else we know). It’s sensible talk and he suggests we have more such talk about how best to link. I agree.
As soon as I can, I’ll set a [...]
-
Number of comments: 3 I have two podcasts to plug this week:
* The latest Guardian Media Talk USA podcast is up. David Folkenflik, NPR correspondent, and John Temple, ex editor of the Rocky Mountain News and now a damned fine media blogger, and I talk about the AP, the TechCrunch/Twitter affair, and news [...]
-
Number of comments: 12 My Guardian column this week on the Microhoo search lashup:
In bringing together their search traffic, Microsoft and Yahoo are fighting an unwinnable war. Worse, they are still fighting the last war. . . .
But while they pound their little fists on Google’s shins, Google remains the unchallenged [...]
-
Number of comments: 6 I interviewed Josh Cohen, product manager for Google News, this week for the Guardian MediaTalkUSA podcast (out early next week) and asked him how many clicks to news sources Google News causes. The answer: a billion.
And then I saw this PaidContent report on URL-shortener Bit.ly thinking [...]
-
Number of comments: 2 There’s little I love more these days than seeing people bring the precepts of What Would Google Do? into their realms. I just hope I’m right and don’t lead them astray.
Here’s a post by Arild Nybø Førde, a Norwegian entrepreneur who wonders whether he’s better off being transparent [...]
-
Number of comments: 18 Friend Mark Potts is announcing a new company today, called GrowthSpur, which will help support what I believe will be the future ecosystem of local news. You can read about it at Jon Fine’s column in BusinessWeek and on Mark’s blog. I’ve been helping since its early [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I know I’m a day late, but I can’t resist quoting Vivianne Schiller, head of NPR and former head of NYTimes.com, in Newsweek on paid content. Mind you, she is one of the few executives in the industry with real experience on the subject.
Q: While employed by The [...]
-
Number of comments: 18 (First, full disclosure: I consulted for Advance Publications on its project in Ann Arbor and worked for the company for a dozen years as president and creative director of its online arm, Advance.net.)
AnnArbor.com launched on Friday. I think it’s a bigger deal than it seems at first glance. Advance [...]
-
Number of comments: 10 Here’s another industry opened up by the internet: mutual funds and financial advise.
Covestor – a company in which I have a small investment – just introduced its new multi-managed account service. What the hell is that? I had to have it explained to me, too. Think of [...]
-
Number of comments: 1 My Guardian column this week expands on an idea I discussed here, about viewing charity to news organizations as collaboration in the news ecosystem. The kicker: “Charity is likely to be a contributor to the future of news. So will volunteer labour in the form of bloggers and [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The Washington Post reports that “in the past year alone, the Postal Service has seen the single largest drop-off in mail volume in its 234-year history…. That downward trend is only accelerating. The Postal Service projects a decline of about 10 billion pieces of mail in each of the [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 The Associated Press is becoming the enemy of the internet because it is fighting the link and the link is the basis of the internet. From Richard Perez-Pena’s New York Times story today:
Tom Curley, The A.P.?s president and chief executive, said the company?s position was that even [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 I want to love my cable company – honestly, I do. They bring me things I love and depend upon. I love TV. I really, really love the internet. (The phone? Well, I love that, too – but unfortunately for the cable company, it’s my iPhone I adore.)
So why [...]
-
Number of comments: 6 Hyperlocal sites of any flavor: Please help us with the New Business Models for News Project and fill out our survey. Last chance before we start compiling data. The information will be kept in confidence (released only in aggregate) but it will be a big, big help to find [...]
-
Number of comments: 25 Well, but that’s not news, is it? Everybody knows that.
But that hit home – again – tonight when I returned after three days away to find our internet not working. I called Cablevision and after a few obvious steps, I’m told they can’t see the modem and they offer [...]
