Re: Business Plan said by Immer:I'd like to see the profession of journalism step back from being the "first to break the news" and return to fact-checking and closing up the headlines and viral videos. *snip* The news media could do with more analysts and fewer "reporters" in my opinion, especially given the mass group-think that goes on. *snip* I'd pay a monthly fee for credible analysis... but the industry hasn't demonstrated proficiency in this regard yet. You value fact-checking. I'd wager that the large majority in this nation does not. Niche markets survive, but typically not at the level of, say the WSJ or NYT.
Someone will have to be the *first* to do this. They have to convince some investors that it's a good idea and I'm not sure we're there yet. -- flickr | 'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting For you to shine, shine your light on me |
