Clyde,
\nNo need for anewsroom

\nThe largestadvertisers represented 3% of my revenue. If anyone of them didn\u2019tlike what we were doing, I could tell them to jump.
\nIf I\u2019m anon-profit, 80% of my donations have to come from 20% of my donors. These20% are going to determine what I do.
\nMedia organizationsare in the attention business not the advertising business<\/p>\n
Rich
\nNot: Old Newsroomversus New Newsroom
\nNeed to evolve to anew species, not adapt an existing species
\nIt is: Old mediabusiness versus New media business
\nFrom News Room toAffinity Group Organizer whose common interest their neighborhood,village, town
\nFrom Newspaper businessto Community Network business
\nNot focus on whogenerates content but the definition of content<\/p>\n
News (fettered andunfettered)
\nInformation(fettered and unfettered)
\nViews (fettered andunfettered)
\nInventories(fettered and unfettered)<\/p>\n
Accept that contentcomes from professionals, citizens, businesses, organizations.<\/p>\n
