I just posted a lengthy blog post in response to this article.

The part I didn’t say, though, is that I agree that the Internet is all about collaboration. What needs to be happening now is a blending of the two. Bring the ads and the good journalists to the web. Realize that this is the present, not just the future, and make it work.

Trying to force the Internet into the Hearst Kindle-device type of thing is definitely going at it the wrong way.

What is missing right now, that people are clamouring for, is a REAL newspaper online. A real radio station online. A real TV network online. Bring it. That’s what we want. Make it viable.

Is that so hard?

Blogs exist in a bubble. Twitter exists in a (growing) bubble. Facebook exists in a (larger than Twitter’s) bubble. To those outside the bubble, televisions, radios, and (to a less and less extent) newspapers still rule.

I agree with your suggestions. Those in the bubbles should work with those outside the bubbles and see what good we can do for all parties involved.

The best results always come from when new technologies are incorporated into proven methods. I think the reason you are seeing the newspaper and music industries hurting like this has been their reluctance to embrace the direction that things were heading. They felt that if they held firm on the old ways that newer fads would just fade away. Denial put those businesses at risk, not social media…
