Files under General | May 29th

Ronald Gerald Wayne
is the “third founder” of Apple Computer (with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak).

He did the first Apple logo and wrote the Apple I manual.

He also wrote their partnership agreement.

Wayne worked with Jobs at Atari before co-founding Apple Computer in 1976.

He had a 10% stake in Apple, but relinquished his stock for $800 only two weeks later because legally all members of a partnership are personally responsible for any debts incurred by any of the other partners.

Not very good design at this time.

But content is what matters.

In computers and in newspapers.

The iPhone presented by Steve Jobs a few months ago was great, but wait until June 20 and you will get more iPhone than you and I had expected.

Read here some of the possible new specifications.

This story makes a lot of sense to me.

Steve Jobs has more surprises for all of us.

INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING?

Files under General | May 29th

I hate this expression.

Why?

Because there is NO reporting WITHOUT investigation.

Reporting is the core of journalism.

And there is no journalism without investigation.

When you read the answers from Matthew Purdy, the New York Times Investigations Editor, you will realize that what his team does is just journalism with reporters that have more time do their job.

Time is the difference.

Not reporting or journalism.

If you want to have “investigative journalists,” just give them more time to report.

Time is the name of the game.

Time might not be enough, but it is necessary for good reporting and good journalism.

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S.

My local paper has a great story on the front page.

“A home in progress.”

Heroes sell.

And this is good example.

A great story.

About a hero and his family and friends.



BYE-BYE RCTV… AND SEE YOU SOON!

Files under General | May 28th

APAGADA.

Turned off.

This is a very dramatic front page from EL UNIVERSAL, the leading quality independent newspaper in Venezuela, an INNOVATION client.

This story is very sad.

RADIO CARACAS TELEVISION (RCTV) was, many years ago, our first client in Caracas (Venezuela).

They had one of the most innovative newspapers of Latin America.

DIARIO DE CARACAS was founded by Tomas Eloy Martinez, a great Argentinean journalist who had to leave his country during the last military regime.

At the time, Venezuela was a green field for media freedom.

Today, after 53 years broasdcasting, RCTV is gone.

Confiscated by Hugo Chavez’s government.

I am sure that one day, RCTV will broadcast again.

In a free country.

Venezuela has no space for other media voices today.
