The aim of this blog is to identify common characteristics of
companies and people in the media industry that are actually making
money.
Newspapers appear to have declining revenues for the foreseeable
future. Journalists are getting perpetually laid off. They are
replaced by younger, cheaper workers, or the positions are simply
eliminated. But there are still a few people making money. And some of
them are making lots of it. In this blog, I'm going to try to identify
what they're doing right that everyone else is doing wrong.
I'm going to try to bring both normative and practical points of view
to this blog. Journalism does provide a lot of beneficial
externalities for society at large. I'm going to look at how (or if)
those benefits can be preserved under a sustainable business model.
I'm also going to try to be frank: if a business model seems to have
no way of surviving in the modern economy, I'm going to say so.
I'm not going to promise any particular posting schedule; I'll post
when there's material of interest. However, it certainly seems like
there's more than enough right now.
