It's Not Too Late

Word is that the "legacy newsroom" is living on borrowed time. Hooey. Papers can survive, even thrive, if they dare to be far more entertaining, informative and reader-friendly. The pages listed below make the basic case. So read them first. The center column shares a slew of specific ideas. As the main blog says, steal my ideas, please.

A Good (Magazine) Project: “Alter a Front Page”

Front page of It’s a challenge and an exercise, posed by Good, a new magazine “for people who give a damn.”  You’ll find it in the March/April “Media Issue” on the back page. Couldn’t resist, of course. Since I give a damn, I gave it my best, putting together all sorts of my ideas on a single page. Especially, the one about teasing stories … Make people buy it, open it and read! (Sure it’s tacky, but so are people who’ll read that Page One story and not fork over 50 cents.) Since you probably can’t read the thumbnail image posted here, click here to see a full-blown .pdf of my “New Paper” front page.
