thoughts on the economy of journalism
News organizations are struggling with an economic model. The Pew Research 2010 State of the News Media is out and, while I’m not through it yet, some thoughts come to mind.
People are no longer paying for content; but perhaps they will pay for a filter for verification, veracity, authenticity, and authority. The subscriber question is: Who is watching what I want to know about and how much am I willing to path them to filter it?
Could snopes.com be a model?

Communication
Communication is singular. It is all encompassing. It is everything. It is constant. It is continuous. It is pervasive. It is everlasting.

Hyper-connected Hermits
Sounds like the name for a blog if I've ever heard one. I suppose turning 50 in the digital age isn't such big deal, but it does give one a certain introspective perspective. As I prepare for upcoming conferences and classes I'm teaching on New/Social media, I came across this article in the March/April edition of AARP Magazine. For those under 50 you can read it here.
I speak and study about "digital natives" and "digital immigrants" and feel much like a "digital undocumented worker." I remember when "social networking" meant a visit to the bar down the street and a couple of adult beverages. I am acutely aware of changes that have taken place in the way we converse. Technology has opened up many powerful avenues for conversation we cannot ignore; but we should take the time to remember our "humanness," and find places to meet people, sit, and talk to keep from becoming what David Dudley describes as "a nation of hyperconnected hermits, thumbs furiously working our BlackBerrys, each of us a master of an ever-smaller personal universe." Quite a fitting description from what I observe.

Capturing thoughts
Thinking about the roles of CIOs, KMers, and the rest of us... What I see are people, managers and director primarily, who are working very hard to better their discipline within the organization. However focusing on the discipline promotes an attitude of exclusion and competition vice an attitude of inclusion and contribution. The former benefits the discipline, the latter benefits the organization.
