Jeff Jarvis: The Future of Journalism is an entrepreneurial, collaborative Process - CARTA

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:42:34 -0800

Jeff Jarvis lists three central challenges for the media business:

1. The big question for us is: Where is the business future of media?
2. The second problem we have is effectiveness for a whole new range of advertising.
3. The third problem, I think, we have is how to find efficiency. Rather than trying to own and do anything on ourselves, I think that we have to find ways to work collaboratively, so we can work more efficient.

Interesting, that he talks a lot about 1. und 3., but regarding advertising he just mentions one time:
"But is a targeted, efficient, effective, and profitable business."

This transcript of the keynote contains the video of his speech (via Skype).
