Great article!!! It’s very interesting to see the differences between the ‘old school’ and ‘new school’ way of thinking when it comes to business and marketing practices. I think it’s foolish to think that the big conglomerates are so set in their ways that they are and will be unwilling to adapt to the changing face of internet marketing and PR. Yes, there may be some moaning, complaining and ’saber-rattling’ but when all is said and done they will either need to adapt or lose at least some of their market to new ideas and technologies that are available at their customers’ fingertips.
I have a tendancy to agree that the future of news and information distribution will be focused into networks and niche markets based on the interests of the consumers in those markets. It only makes sense that people aren’t going to want to waste their time and money on information that they aren’t even going to read.
Why buy a newspaper, even for only a couple of dollars, when you are only going to be reading one section of it when that information is readily available elsewhere for free?

> Google is paying Murdoch and Twitter hundreds of millions of $ to include MySpace and Twitter content in their search index. That’s meaningless babble. Google is paying NOTHING to include the content written by professional journalists in their search index.

I hope that Google isn’t paying. (I don’t know for sure.)

All of those “professional journalists” (or rather, their employers) are free to block Google and other search engines (using robots.txt) whenever they feel cheated.

Why should Google pay? I don’t see anyone else who does reviews or commentary paying. “Professional journalists” don’t pay sources (or at least aren’t supposed to).

Search engines deliver readers to your site. At that point, it’s up to you to make money.

However, feel free to set up a “news search site” with exclusive content from as many “professional journalists” as you can get. (It’s actually really easy to build a search engine – search for “lucene”. Plus, there are a lot of Yahoo search folks looking for a new gig.) Block google and the other search engines.

That will give you all of the search engine results page revenue.

The risk is that readers may not follow you, that they may be satisfied with news from folks who won’t join your club.

Let’s find out.

Murdoch’s approach reminds me of the typically aging male CEOs I seem to come up against who don’t want to listen, don’t want to change and think that by being an ostrich it will all go away.

Of course we’re putting our businesses at risk by using platforms that can be turned off at the flick of a switch but it gets us heard. Hiding behind a paywall or whacking the customer with intrusive marketing isn’t going to win an audience.
The platforms will change, I am sure, but the praxis won’t.

Love the ecosystem metaphor. That’s spot on.

[...] So, what does all this portend? Well, the future is still being shaped (by some of the folks there at the conference and other thought leaders and innovators), but a few things are clear on the ad sales front: Training will not be the answer and generating meaningful local dollars will require more cooperation and collaboration amongst the relevant parties. Yes, more group hugs are in order, as Jeff Jarvis insisted. And local networks being sold by the right sales teams will be the key in this new ecosystem. [...]

I am trying to apply the same paradigm to government . Move from a few large, slow, old, centralized states to many small, quick-moving, distributed states. See Let A Thousand Nations Bloom and seasteading.org, you might find some resonance with our ideas .

Hi Jeff,
I absolutely love your thoughts. Coming from the baby boomer demographic which thrived on power and control it was quite a mind set change for me to move out of corporate and try and build a small business of my own. Your thought provoking analysis is wonderful and the description of the struggle going on in media at the moment is fascinating.
It was so interesting to me to find out that the Alexa traffic tool has Google and Facebook as the top two sites with about 60% of the world traffic. Now that’s something that is hard to ignore when you want to get news out to people.

“This week, we see this contrast, too, in Rupert Murdoch’s threat – he thinks it’s a threat – to cut off Google. Nose. Face. Cut. Spite. Murdoch – whodoesn’t use the internet – does not see how distribution works today. He does not understand that being open to the link economy brings him free distribution, free marketing, great benefit.”

Here’s another way to look at it. Nose. Face. Cut. Spite. Journalists who do not know what the dollar value of online distribution is.

Google is paying Murdoch and Twitter hundreds of millions of $ to include MySpace and Twitter content in their search index. That’s meaningless babble. Google is paying NOTHING to include the content written by professional journalists in their search index.

Writers and their advocates are battling Google in court for royalties for Google e-books.

Journalists don’t seem to care that Google is commercializing [read:making money on] their content on Google News Reader.

Maybe book writers, who make money on royalties, are acutely aware of the potential to be screwed by Google. Journalists, who are paid a salary, are blind to the dollar value of their content and its relationship to their paycheck.
