Editor's Notes
- #8 What we mean about extending the conversation…
- #9 The flow we’re trying to createOr if we’re not, we should be.So there’s a huge disconnect here that is making meetings less useful for our participants, therefore more vulnerable whenever budgets begin to go south.
- #11 …and the page views were overwhelmingly news caps, followed by summary text, followed by video. We need to learn more as an industry about which formats work best for different audiences and different types of content, but it’s clear that our toolkit has to include the full mix of possibilities.
- #26 Jet fuel has become airlines’ biggest operating expense
- #30 It’s professional malpractice to talk about the problem without point toward solutions
