Another ad stuck on The Age
The marketing department at The Age newspaper decided that promoting 65% off cover price home delivery offer is more important than a headline about Glenn McGrath and his biography about life with Jane. What other newspaper publisher trashes their masthead and editorial content in this way?

Consumers want information, not "media"
For years now, we've been hearing how technology is a generational thing. Apparently, these unpredictable Gen y'ers had a keyboard and mouse grow in place where the umbilical cord was cut - and everything needs to be different for them. And whilst growing up with technology is a major factor on the adoption of things, is the traditional publishing industry in denial? Arguments for print seem to centre on it being a better experience, but take a look on the other side - we are time poor with the complexities of modern life, and whilst print is a more enjoyable experience, online makes it an easier experience. To get a reality check I asked my father, a 72 year-old battler who continues to practice in his law firm, on how he consumes the news. I first realised a change in his approach to buying the daily newspaper, when court listings for the day became available online (or at least, when he realised). Apparently, it was easier, more likely to be accurate, and more accessible. Fast forward a few years later, to the last week of June 2008 about his current news consumption - and his relationship with print has changed ...

Take me to your leader
Original post at: http://minimediaguy.org/2008/03/30/take-me-to-your-leader/ Tom Abate is speaking at the Future of Media Summit - Silicon Valley Collage by Doug Millison of NonHuman Communications My name is Tom Abate and I’ve been a daily newspaper reporter since 1992. I was 37 when I got my first daily job after I reinvented myself out of the typesetting industry, a craft that was then disappearing. Now part of me feels like it’s deja vu all over. The newspaper industry seems to be crumbling. Eric Alterman practically wrote its obituary in his New Yorker article Out of Print . The cartoon depicts web maven Ariana Huffington throttling the paper tigers of dead-tree journalism, and the article explains how her team is blending professional and amateur news-gatherers in a news engine that aspires to be both profitable and responsive. But despite such gloomy reports, and the layoffs such as the one I survived last year, I see a ray of hope so powerful that I feel compelled to bring it to light. Newspapers can do what seems to be working for the Huff Post — they can report and write with more attitude, and in a symbiosis with readers as opposed to the prevailing ...
