The I Want Media's The Future of Media: 2009 discussion held at NYU yesterday gathered the most renowned names in the new media world to present their visions of the future of information media. Present were Gawker chief Nick Denton, Jack Dorsey, cofounder and chairman of Twitter; Bonnie Fuller, creator of Us Weekly and founder of Bonnie Fuller Media; Alan Murray, deputy managing editor and executive editor online at The Wall Street Journal; and Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.
Perhaps of most interest to have come from the exchange were Denton's statements about journalists' attitudes, their inaptitude for internet blogging and the pay wall debate which is currently dominating news provision dialogue.
The
Wilmington News Journal and its sister paper, the
Star Republican announced a series of changes that will take place at both of the papers.
Beginning November 10, the
News Journal will
no longer print a Monday edition. News from Monday will be on the paper's website.
There have been recent talks about freeing
WSJ.com, just as
The New York Times is also deciding whether to
drop its TimesSelect service. But would this be a worthwhile business strategy for the world’s largest paid-for subscription service?
