7. The last impact on print and media
– The Web
• Media and Publication still adapting to the influence of the web
• Wall street journal , The time of London , Sunday Times have installed Pay Walls
• Pay walls caused 99% of the readership to disappear at the London times
• Online advertizing revenues will eclipse news paper/magazine advertizing revenues
for the first time in 2011
Lessons
• Forget about being a destination – be where people are.
• ALL media is social – the value of the community is immense
• Use all tools – even if you don’t own them. Daily deals on newsites from
Groupon/Tippr is a great example.
• Don’t pave cart paths – i.e. don’t dump existing content to devices, rather leverage
the new channel for its new features
• Be prepared to “burn the boats” – Christian Science Monitor and some others have
completely shut down their print operations.
