I am grateful to Mark Hamilton’s blog where I found the link to videos of sessions at the two-day The Future of News workshop hosted by Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy last week.
While I have not watched all the content, what I have seen reinforces the need for Australian newsagents to listen to the conversation among news professionals about changes in how they do what they do.
These changes and the associated challenges affect us yet most newsagents continue to ignore them in their business plans. The shop designs I see are as traditional as ever and do not reflect the future of news.
