Wasn’t there a Bond villian that started out this way? You know, the guy that use to sell Infiniti’s on TV…

What’s this Calacanis guy thinking? Newspapers won’t be dead in that short of a timeframe…

I get most of my news from the internet, but nothing - and I mean NOTHING - beats the local news found in a Newspaper. Maybe this is the time that someone should come up with a version of Digg that is oriented towards LOCAL news?

I listened to podcasts of the ‘unconference’ that he attended earlier this month. ‘Citizen media’. I was trying to figure out revenue models for local or hyperlocal citizens media projects. Those that aren’t tied into an established media outlet. I didn’t really here any. No one seemed to want to talk about that in depth.

Subscription based? Online is usuallly free. Ad supported? Well, there’s a need to hire a sales rep…and hopefully the local restaurants or car dealerships will have a functional website.

I wish him luck but print newspapers won’t kick the bucket within 18-24 months.
