  • the tycoons who have led the digital revolution are giving traditional print outlets a hand.
  • Call it a sense of obligation. Or responsibility. Or maybe there is even a twinge of guilt. Helping print journalism adapt to a changed era is becoming a cause du jour among the technology elite.
  • Google, which has been criticized for profiting from news content created by others, began financing journalism fellowships for eight people this year.

  • The founder of Craigslist, the free listing service that helped ruin newspapers’ classified advertising, helped finance a book on ethics for journalists.
  • Many critics of the newspaper industry say its predicament is its own fault for allowing upstarts like Craigslist to outflank it with better methods for advertising automobiles, rental apartments and other merchandise.
  • Since then, the search giant has been cozying up to journalists in a growing variety of ways, financing reports on the impact of the Internet on journalism, sponsoring journalism conferences and donating to press advocacy groups.
  • But Esther Wojcicki, a teacher of high school journalism for several decades in Palo Alto, Calif., and the mother-in-law of Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, said the motivations of the tech people supporting the press, many of whom she has spoken to, were more sincere.

    The chief economist at Google , Hal Varian, has given an interesting little speech looking into the economics of the newspaper industry. No, they're not entirely doomed, as some think, but they do need some changes. Most importantly, it would be good if we all read them for a little longer while at work each day. The general points made are all entirely reasonable: most of us who have been reading about this subject will know many of them already. Newspaper circulation has been in decline for decades, it's not just the internet. News was never what made the money, it was the advertising in the other parts of the paper that did.

    Bezos has already re-defined Amazon by creating the online shopping market we know today. The company transformed its back-end infrastructure into the nation's leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The Kindle launched e-books into the mainstream, and today, for all intents and purposes, Amazon is the e-book marketplace. Bezos is also biting into the media world with instant video, Amazon Studios, even digital games, not to mention ownership in the Business Insider.
