Why Every Company is a Media Company

Amen! I have been saying this for years. Whatever your company is you need to think about it like a publishing company. Maybe not from a business model but from the fact that you need to be publishing and distributing content. That is the new marketing.

A Brief History of Hyperlocal News | keithhopper.com

Running the TechBoise site I found this article very interesting. I think most in the publishing world believe hyperlocal holds untapped potential but it remains elusive and as yet an unproven model. I agree with the article that regional or aggregation make the most sense. I actually believe that a mix of regional and re-aggregation hold the key.

How Many Journalists Would Go All Digital If They Could? - Publishing 2.0

  • I've always wondered what is stopping really talented journalists from going out on their own.  I've heard what "average" journalism wages are and I also know what a really engaging writer can make running their own blogs.

    I have to think that most journalists just aren't that adventurous.  Most of them don't strike me as entrepreneurs, although the ones that are could make a killing on their own.

    • Kara says she’s going all digital because she doesn’t want to kill any more trees, which although it’s an obvious rationale, is still striking to hear stated flatly by a long-time print journalist of Kara’s stature.


      But more striking still were Kara’s other reasons:


      • The future of media is all digital, she has concluded, and she doesn’t want to be left behind
      • She prefers digital journalism for all its advantages

Slashdot | Vending Machine For Books Coming Next Year


  • An anonymous reader writes "CNN writes about a $50,000 machine that can print books on demand. It can print up to 550 pages and put a binding on the book in seven minutes. It will be debuting in a select number of U.S. libraries in 2007. The machine is the 'output' end of a service called On Demand Books, which is also just debuting. From the article: 'Some 2.5 million books are now available - about one million in English and no longer under copyright protection. On Demand accesses the volumes through Google and the Open Content Alliance, among other sources. [Co-founder Dane] Neller predicts that within about five years On Demand Books will be able to reproduce every volume ever printed.'"
