I’m ready. Can’t wait to pay $1.99 a month to have the NYTimes dropped in each day, a message to tell me my latest issue of the New Yorker is waiting for me, All publications offer Flyp-like multimedia experience. Download a digital textbook for $4… The sooner media adopts an iTunes/app store model, the better.

Hi Juan, happy 2010. Yes we need to change inside the newsrooms to embrace every possible way of giving our readers what they want, when and where (platforms) they want and NEED it (the need side is very important). Be it on Apple’s tablet or on a Facebook page.

In my experience, for the newsrooms to make that change you’ll have to find some people inside it that are willing to learn the new ‘lauganges’ and you need the editors and sub-editors to ‘sponsor’ these peoples efforts by giving them both the time and the help they need.

As you usually say ‘SHOW, DON’T TELLl’ and the same applies here. If you work on a newsroom that is not ‘going’ web 2.0 and you want to try it, my opinion is make it and then show the results to your co-workers. You’ll see many sceptics starting to get interested in it.
