My Big Idea for TEDxAMS: Newspapers = iTunes for Changing the World

The newspaper industry is in trouble, and no one knows how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. In fact, the solution is simple and based on the fundamental read/write nature of the internet.

Please share this video so I can tell this story at TEDx Amsterdam. The best 3 ideas will be chosen out of the 10 most watched videos.

Great video!

How did you mash-up the Prezi slides with the video shot in the corner? Final Cut Pro? iMovie?

Thanks, I just used iMovie!

Alternatives for more buttons than one would be nice...:

"Switch to bank B" next to bad financial forecasts

"Buy an AK47" next to news covering civil war

"Order Pizza" next to news about famine

;-P ... no serious: cool idea!

Slim, maar het gaat er ook om wat voor soort nieuws een krant, of elk ander soort nieuwsmedium aan de klanten biedt. We willen niet dat de meerderheid van de lezers investeert in zaken die de wereld niet verder helpt.

X marks the spot!
