Write Great Content. Fragment. Distribute Everywhere.
Dave Patton and I have been talking about creating content and then “fragmenting†and re-purposing it. This would allow for the whole story to be found but plan for and receive all the benefits of fragmenting and distributing your content. Write a feature length journalistic story, turn that into a blog post into a tweet, [...]
Is There Any Value Left in Print?
So I jokingly posted a tweet this morning about wanting to start a newsletter. You know those things that people used to print out and mail? Joke aside I kind of really wanted to do it. I don’t know why. I don’t even know what I’d write about that would be better suited for print [...]
I Don’t Read the Paper, I Read Twitter
Image via Wikipedia I write this post knowing I run the risk of kindling the wrath of my good friend David Heller (@muchosalsa). (BTW I’m *mostly* talking about the physical format of the newspaper in this post) But I have never subscribed to a newspaper in my life. On my way down to Austin last [...]

The Guardian continues to impress me
Image via Wikipedia I’ve never been to the UK. I hope to someday but I haven’t yet. That being said, I’m a regular reader of their online content. I thought their US Presidential Campaign coverage was among the best out their. They have also shown to be one of the more innovative Old Media companies [...]
Yahoo wins by going old skool
Image via Wikipedia I think it’s interesting that Yahoo has been able to succeed where Google has failed with the news industry. Instead of trying to be disruptive, Yahoo is just doing what it does best: get clicks on content. Whatever the newspaper industry ends up looking like after everything is over this could prove [...]
Social Media is Journalisms Future
Newspaper editors aren’t happy with the changes in the Associated Press’ rate structure or the CEO’s comments that I mentioned here. With as valuable a service as they provide it seems to me like news papers and the AP are heading down separate paths. It will take some bold moves from some inovative papers (if [...]
Old Media’s Dead. Why Should New Media be Afraid?
Image via Wikipedia In case you haven’t heard, advertising is dead. And with it the oldest of old media is dead; newspapers. Bob Garfield on the state of advertising: People don’t like ads Sure, when your ad characters draw a parade crowd on Madison Avenue or you strut up to the awards stage in Cannes [...]
