Mindy on the future of the News Business

Mindy McAdams has written a paper of the future of the news business(she has avoided the phrase newspapers) for the Assocaition of American newspapers and it is well worth a read

I wholly concur with one of her remarks

The first step to thinking about the future of the news business? Accept that news – raw, up-to-the-minute, see-it-now news – is a commodity. Everybody has the same news, unless it is right in your geographical backyard. (In that case, you ought to cover the heck out of it, because nobody else will.) Stuffing the printed or the digital product full of what everyone else has? That is killing the news business.
