The Problem With Paper News - Chris Anderson

[emperorzombie13]

IT IS NOT ABOUT NEWS!!! its about advertising dollars. ive had the mispleasure of working for a newspaper. they have no clue.

they make money at selling ads in the paper and the paper attracts eyeballs to those ads.

people get to choose what their eyes see online. the paper forces you to see their view via the reporter. thats the problem. they have to compete with customers that would rather view info that enforces their own reality perception than what the local business offers.

Everywhere in the middle scale is somebody's local scale, so the locals can cover it. No problem.

He was a bit of a snob on that one. I live out of state but grew up around San Jose, read about it online.

Gee, a guy from Berkeley doesn't care about San Jose, imagine that.

i don't think he meant to hurt your feelings, he was trying to make a point....

[Anjimom]

He didn't hurt my feelings, he just sounded like a snob.

you need to smoke something and relax

[Anjimom]

Nope, now go bother someone else.

I'm entitled to my opinion.

whats the fuss? news has a cleaner, faster and more dynamic media now. if the current publications cant compete thats just progress; time to adjust or fold
