    Citizens took to the digital streets today to celebrate what has become known as "Internet Freedom Day." The new holiday celebrates users' ability to speak, share, create, and innovate. It commemorates the Internet blackout of Jan. 18, 2012, in which tens of thousands of websites participated, to protest the draconian copyright bills SOPA and PIPA.

    By Matthew Fleischer on July 12, 2011 1:14 PM Newspapers are increasingly staking their claim to the Internet and its emerging advertising bounty. According to a recent comScore study for the Newspaper Association of America, newspapers attracted an average monthly audience of 110.8 million unique visitors over the age of 18 to their websites in the second quarter-that's 64.6 percent of all adult Internet users.

    Interesting project for Internet archiving...wonder about some of the (eventual) privacy issues that might be involved, though. As the article quotes the archivist: "'Whoever is going to be president in 2048, she's in high school now, and she may have a Web site, and we probably have it.'" How many political opponents would love to seize on this hypothetical person if her teenage rants (e.g., "OMG my mom is so horrible, she won't let me go to Kasey's party on Saturday! Isn't there some kind of law against child abuse?") came to light when she's 53 and in a position of power? Is/Will it be considered fair game to judge a middle-aged woman by what the adolescent says now?

  • It is now clear that it is as disruptive to today's newspapers as Gutenberg's invention of movable type was to the town criers, the journalists of the 15th century.
  • The Internet wrecks the old newspaper business model in two ways. It moves information with zero variable cost, which means it has no barriers to growth, unlike a newspaper, which has to pay for paper, ink and transportation in direct proportion to the number of copies produced.
  • And the Internet's entry costs are low.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • These cost advantages make it feasible to make a business out of highly specialized information, a trend that was under way well before the Internet.
  • specialized media had been enjoying more growth than general media.
  • A metropolitan newspaper became a mosaic of narrowly targeted content items. Few read the entire paper, but many read the parts that appealed to their specialized interests
  • Sending everything to everybody was a response to the Industrial Revolution, which rewarded economies of scale
  • Newspapers "keep offering an all-you-can-eat buffet of content, and keep diminishing the quality of that content because their budgets are continually thinner," he said. "This is an absurd choice because the audience least interested in news has already abandoned the newspaper."
  • The newspapers that survive will probably do so with some kind of hybrid content: analysis, interpretation and investigative reporting in a print product that appears less than daily, combined with constant updating and reader interaction on the Web.
  • But the time for launching this strategy is growing short if it has not already passed. The most powerful feature of the Internet is that it encourages low-cost innovation, and anyone can play
  • Clayton Christensen has noted, the very qualities that made companies succeed can be disabling when applied to disruptive innovation. Successful disruption requires risk taking and fresh thinking.
  • One of the rules of thumb for coping with substitute technology is to narrow your focus to the area that is the least vulnerable to substitution.
  • What service supplied by newspapers is the least vulnerable?
  • I still believe that a newspaper's most important product, the product least vulnerable to substitution, is community influence
  • The raw material for this processing is evidence-based journalism, something that bloggers are not good at originating.
  • Newspapers might have a chance if they can meet that need by holding on to the kind of content that gives them their natural community influence. To keep the resources for doing that, they will have to jettison the frivolous items in the content buffet.
  • But it won't be a worthwhile possibility unless the news-paper endgame concentrates on retaining newspapers' core of trust and responsibility
  • arnie Grossblatt on 28 Oct 08
     
    Argues that newspapers will need to get smaller and more focused on establishing trust-based influence. Interesting.

    This is classic! I like the "electronic journalism" term that was used to describe their methods. If only the journalism industry knew what was coming . . . the guy saying "we're not in it to make much money" -* the newspaper delivery guy "not worried about losing his job" shakes my head*. Oh, and I own a home computer too - lol.
