Three longish posts (and a couple of late additions) worthy of your consideration if, like me, you are part of the continuing struggle to make sense of what journalism is becoming. All are thought-provoking and have started to draw an interesting bunch of comments:
- Paid content. Mark Potts at Recovering Journalist makes the argument for charging for online news content. I’m drawn to a consensus that seems to be emerging: you can do it if you make it good and you make it easy.
- Viacom’s YouTube Conundrum. Mark Glaser on Viacom’s removal of its copyrighted content from YouTube and whether it was a smart move or not.
- An ethical framework for news operations. Tom Abate examines the need for — and steps toward — an ethical grounding in a new age of journalism.
- Update 1: Will Online Video Remain A Monopoly? Scott Karp wonders about the language of the questions being asked and what it says about how folks are thinking about things.
- Update 2: Norwegian newspaper publisher finds the secret to profiting online. The International Herald Tribune reports on a publisher that is making a success of the ‘net. So much so, in fact, that the company expects 60 per cent of its operating revenue to come from online operations next year. Via Mathew Ingram.
