    I didn’t see any examples (globalvoicesonline, ohmynews, allvoices) or any words about citizen journalism, do you think that they are a threat or an opportunity for the newspaper?
  • + danatodd Dana Todd 8 months ago
    Wish I had the talking points...hard to guess the narrative on some of the slides. Good points overall, and hopefully gave the publishers some new ideas.

    Absolutely spot-on, brilliant, Tim. Great show. Must have taken 2 hours to present ;?

    Very clear that internet is no more part of the value proposition for newspaper but the value proposition. #4 on internet scale (http://www.leadingworlds.com/blog/2008/ 09/four-internet-stages-in-a-marketing- strategy.html) is a must for surviving.
