Editor's Notes
- I’ll talk about why paid content isn’t the solution for newspaper companies, why it’s a symbol of our continuing failure and refusal to innovate and how it sucks up energy and money we should be investing in innovation.
- More and more people are getting information and connecting with their world on cell phones. Media companies need to think of phones as our primary publishing platform.
- I’ll tell participants they can read the full C3 blueprint (38 pages as a pdf) on my blog
- I’ll note that the driving service presents great opportunities to help drivers and businesses that serve drivers. But national players are already moving into this space.
- I’ll discuss my own experience with CaringBridge during my nephew’s illness and discuss how the concept of big news in small circles can open important opportunities in personal news.
- We’ll talk about local search, the opportunities for local companies and the national players already moving swiftly.
- We’ll discuss C3
- After the exercises and discussion, we will wrap up with a discussion of how printing and digital communication have changed and are changing the world, and the opportunities if we see them right.
