outside.in » Newspapers Should Leap, Not Stand

Rebuttal by outside.in's CEO to David Carr's NYT wishful thinking piece on locking down content and throttling the aggregators.

    • Here’s what is going on out there:


      • The cost to create and distribute information has dropped to almost zero.
      • Consumers don’t go find news, a recent study (I’ll find attribution) quoted someone saying “if the news is important enough, it will find me!”
      • Audience and therefore ad impressions are diffused to thousands of sites, including, yes, blogs.
      • Ad networks have more inventory in any given market than the big newspaper in town.
  • “no more free rides to aggregators”.  This one hits a bit close to home.  At Outside.in we aggregate local media, but we also add value to that media by organizing by location to make it easier for consumers and for newspapers themselves. (We then pass all that extra metadata onto anyone who wants to use it: newspaper or blogger.)  The problem with Carr’s idea here is that consumers have already decided that they expect an incredibly customized and personal news experience.  It’s “Me-centric” not “newspaper centric”.

New breed of 'net newsers' shape US media habits, says Pew report | Media | guardian.co.uk

Jemima Kiss writes about the recent Pew report that describes how "well-educated, technically-savvy young web users are shaping the media habits of the US, with one in 20 Americans saying they do not watch TV on a typical day and a sharp decline in newspaper readership, according to new research."

Interesting findings on education levels and TV-watching *and* interest (lack thereof) in science and technology, too.
