Student Opinion | What Magazines Do You Read, and Where Do You Read Them? - NYTimes.com
Seems like a good question!

"The Future, as Imagined by Google" - NYTimes.com
Newspapers have got to work harder to find their place in this picture.

"Internet Shopping Drives Australia Post Profit" - NYTimes.com
Imagine the merger of USPS and Amazon.
10 October 2012
"Small Companies Seek to Push Sales and Marketing With Own Apps" - NYTimes.com
What are newspapers doing to help their customers in these situations?
"Wal-Mart Tests Same-Day Delivery" - NYTimes.com
This strikes me as bold move that could produce amazing results for Wal-Mart and for customers. What may be more important is how other merchants react proactively, if they do.

"That Indescribable Pink of The Financial Times" - NYTimes.com
Ok, now we can move on from there.....?
08 October 2012
"Most Americans Are Wary of Being Tracked Online, Study Says" - NYTimes.com
What "we" don't know can astound us.
05 October 2012
"RIP, American Press Institute" - JIMROMENESKO.COM
I am not as concerned about leaving it behind as I am in imagining how this kind of learning will occur in the future. That, for me, is the real issue.
"WSJ memo: We’re creating a single newsroom that does away with duplication" - JIMROMENESKO.COM
I thought they did this 20 years ago!
04 October 2012
"Facebook now home to 1 billion monthly users" - Houston Chronicle
As much as we might take it for granted this remains astounding. What is the best strategy of any newspaper to do something other than Facebook to interconnect people?
"F.T.C. Crackdown Aims At Tech Support Scams" - NYTimes.com
What are/can newspapers do to help their cusotmers avoid this ploy?
03 October 2012
"Daily Report: Facebook's Advertising Plan" - NYTimes.com
I don't think anyone really has any idea how far the pendulum of tracking is likely to swing. It seems inevitable to me that it will go very far.
02 October 2012
"Shopping Sites Pay Contributors Who Drive Traffic to Retailers" - NYTimes.com
This sort of thing makes a lot of sense on one level and is horrendous on another.
"Microsoft launching news operation" - MyBroadband Tech and IT News
It's fascinating to see who is in and out of the news business.
"Washington Post Co. buys hospice firm Celtic Healthcare" - The Washington Post
Truth winning out again over fiction!
01 October 2012
"Journalist Turns Idea Into Online Success" - NYTimes.com
How do newspapers do a better job of tapping into former journalists who have done great things in allied fields?
"Burlington Free Press Loses Ground in Vermont" - NYTimes.com
As bad as all this is, I still think newspapers have missed the chance to make themselves essential to their cusotmers, plain and simple. We all have lots of information needs that we think are pretty essential and newspapers continue to think they can get by addressing only a few of them, and not the highest priority ones like food (in an essential as opposed to throw food mud on the wall and see if it sticks fashion, as is most often the case now).
"Oracle's New Cloud Computing Bets" - NYTimes.com
Which newspaper is advancing the most dynamic cloud strategy?
"Times-Picayune Publishes Last Daily Issue" - NYTimes.com
I still believe that there is a need for a daily guide to the world, starting as local as your bed, and extending to Mars, if you like. And I believe that a printed newspaper is the very best way to do this. However much of that the Times-Picayune achieves, it won't happen at all on the off days and that's a real loss.
"‘Janeane From Des Moines,’ Mock Documentary, Hits the Right" - NYTimes.com
This happens, I suspect, more often than we realize in more media.
30 September 2012
"Disruptions: Your Brain on E-Books and Smartphone Apps" - NYTimes.com
Newspapers need to get themselves out ahead of this one.
29 September 2012
"Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif". - NYTimes.com
I wonder how many WAN-IFRA trips to California include a stop here?
"Baton Rouge Newspaper Sees an Opportunity in New Orleans" - NYTimes.com
Are we seeing the potential extension of newspaper brands to other markets? Or is this just a marketing move that may or may not work in a state where this might be more possible than others?
