But I see 2 problems: - Not every journalist is able to work in all kinds of media. Should a publisher fire the excellent writer who looks and talks like a nerd, only because you can't put him in front of a camera or a microphone? - Where will all the content come from? More media means less time for research. Less time for research means less exclusivity. Less exclusivity means less interest of your reader.

The schedule is aimed at the local market, but the web opens distribution to the world. The BBC seems to get this, especially since they have had decades of experience with the world service. Just since the start of the month I've had visitors to my web site from 50 countries. Its time media firms learned they are now in a global market (or should be).
