Notes de l'éditeur
- I will be leading a workshop for the Maynard Academy at the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University on Thursday, May 18. We will cover the C3 business model, mobile opportunities, why and how newsrooms can get involved in business-model innovation and what middle managers can do.
- We’ll start by identifying obstacles to innovation in the companies of the participants.
- I will note how newspapers’ audience is dwindling (to 13% of population in 2009)
- And newspapers’ advertising is falling even faster than audience
- Ad revenues for otherh
- I’ll quote Alan Mutter on how timid media executives tend to be.
- I’ll tell participants they can read the full C3 blueprint (38 pages as a pdf) on my blog
- I’ll discuss the media use by college students, as a set-up for discussion of mobile opportunities.
- More and more people are getting information and connecting with their world on cell phones. Media companies need to think of phones as our primary publishing platform.
- We’ll discuss how drivers present an opportunity for changing the business model and pursuing mobile opportunities.
- 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.
- 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.
- We’ll discuss the importance of newsroom involvement in business-model innovation: Our failure to innovate has cost thousands of newsroom jobs
- I’ll field questions.
- After the exercises and discussion, we will wrap up with a discussion of how printing and digital communication have changed and are changing the world, and the opportunities if we see them right.
