I'll admit, I'm part of the old business model. I'm the interactive content producer for a 22K circ publication that covers three rural, ag-heavy counties north of Sacramento.
I heard Brad speak a couple of weeks ago at a KDMC workshop at UC Berkeley, which snapped me awake to what's happening with journalism startups like him and some of our other speakers (Common Language Project, West Seattle Blog, etc.)
I think the old media organizations can somewhat adapt to what's going to happen, but whether they will is an entirely different issue. In any case, all I can do is open the doors... and be ready to walk through one myself.
Hi, Robert. Welcome! I think one thing we'll see very quickly on here is how many different ideas are out there in the ether. I've already learned about 2 new startups in the pipeline through people's comments on here. Some of these will be companies that old media should work with. Others will be ones old media should purchase. Others will stand alone and other will fold, the quicker the better.
