Who is we? I have every confidence that if newspapers provide a worthwhile service, then they will survive. I also have every confidence that the opposite is true. If you think that your idea is a good business model, then go ahead and implement it. There is no we.

Who is this asshole? Where's Jeff Jarvis the jazz artist.

Is he talking about how to make money on newsreporting? That's like talking about how to make money on people talking with eachother. Newsreporting is now in the hands of the masses. When the machines starting making cars, no one thought about how they were going to make money on working the assembly line. The jobs are gone. They are. Do something else. Selling advertising is also going. We're building the tower and uniting the world over here!

I completely agree with Jeff. I got a chance to see his other interview on Frontline. He makes good points. I'm still - however, uncertain how it will sustain itself. in this video he mentions small public financing, some advertising and some volunteers. So ... journalism is going to be a hobby? I'm just wondering how it will be sustained. does jeff ever really answer this?

Mainstream newspapers blow.
Not all of us can use the internet daily. Small, independent newspapers are still alive and still worth reading.
As long as there are people out there like Rupert Murdoch, this idea will be constantly under attack. Here's hoping that changes!

The new 'network' has its advantages: it would make information much more accessible to anyone and everyone since space is no longer an issue; it facilitates democracy, etc. And we can see that the evolution is already in motion. However, the elimination of tangible copies, I think, would make info more vulnerable (ex. viruses). I have to ask: are we too overdependent on this medium? And with so much info (being relatively easy to produce and publish), what happens to the quality of hard news?
