]]> Comment on “Newsless”? by Michael J http://www.newsless.org/2008/09/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-266 Michael J Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:20:52 +0000 http://www.newsless.org/?p=1#comment-266 Do not underestimate the power of print to help create context. What I mean is that the missing element is time and place. The web lives in NOW and the place is the SCREEN. It may well turn out that web and print are joined, each playing to it's unique media strengths various solutions emerge. For example. Consider using the long tail of "snapshots of history" found at most serious newspapers to produce paperback books or special editions about a Place. Why couldn't those sold into K-12 to help our kids develop a context that they can take with them for the rest of their lives? The news organization website then might be freed from it's need to "advertise by selling "stuff" that people will buy. Another beneficial effect would be to eventually break the strangle hold that textbook publishers on K-12 (not to mentions college) education. Consider a science reporter curating news for a weekly print edition. Read for free, pay for print. And choose your advertising VERY carefully. Here's a post I did a couple of days ago about Newspapers and the Dog Food Business. Maybe you'll find something useful in there. http://sellingprint.blogspot.com/2008/12/news-is-niche-market.html Do not underestimate the power of print to help create context.
