I can see why you’d conclude from the quotes Jeff Greenfield chose that I am “wringing my hands” about newspapers. But I’d have hoped you’d have known more about my work over the past several years than to think that this characterization would be “same-old/same-old: for me.

I moved WAY past lamentation, years ago, and embraced change and innovation with gusto (as my faculty would assure you, some with perhaps some annoyance). I do think it’s true we haven’t seen the full menu of what will replace newspapers. But as the Greenfield interview would show, if we could see it all, I focused at least as much on the feast of new possibilities that are emerging.

I look forward to our moving past this oversimplified side-taking period we seem to be in, and recognizing that a lot of us are in there pulling for a strong future for information in the public interest — each in our complex ways.

I think you could not only get publishers but also some of the technology suppliers who serve this market. They’d be motivated to highlight the successes their partners have had. There must be dozens of these companies – WebVisible, Clickable, Digital Press Consortium, Mixpo…

rick wagoner just resigned from gm.

although, sitting in a panera bread where 1/2 dozen folks are online, word is spreading pretty quickly… and the free papers won’t be out for 12 hours.

Now, which blogs to spend it on…

let’s see, tv numbers are headed in the same direction as newspapers, so let’s spend precious $$$ we don’t have THERE calling out the nearly dead news/free press’s decision to curtail home delivery.

oy!
