Notes de l'éditeur

  1. I’ll start out by talking about how the big news in my life in recent years – a new granddaughter, a nephew’s illness and death, a son’s wedding – are the kinds of events that newspapers either ignore or cover in a formulaic fashion that doesn’t reflect the meaning or magnitude of the situation to the people involved.
  2. I’ll discuss my own experience with CaringBridge during my nephew’s illness and discuss how the concept of big news in small circles can open important opportunities in personal news.
  3. I’ll tell participants they can read the full C3 blueprint (38 pages as a pdf) on my blog
  4. We’ll discuss the C3 approach to a driving service, noting that some news organizations are starting, but still thinking like newspapers.
  5. I’ll note that the driving service presents great opportunities to help drivers and businesses that serve drivers. But national players are already moving into this space.
  6. I’ll discuss how Twitter and other social media are helping meet people’s needs for news and business and news companies need to catch up quickly.
  7. I’ll make the point that as people spend more time with social media, news organizations need to learn how to use social media in a variety of ways to cover the news and to serve business customers.
  8. I’ll tell the editors they can read the full Mobile-First Strategy on my blog
  9. I’ll encourage questions during the webinar, but will also field them, time-permitting, at the end.
  10. We’ll close with a discussion of how news organizations excel in the face of obstacles, sharing briefly the story of how the Gazette staff responded to the 2008 flood in Cedar Rapids, iowa.
  11. I’ll talk briefly about the Cedar Rapids flood and how our organization succeeded in the face of amazing obstacles. I’ll end by noting that we need to take the same no-excuses approach to innovation that we take to big news stories.
  12. I’ll close by making the point that our response to innovation needs to be as resourceful, persistent and determined as our response to a big story.
