WHAT'S NEXT: INNOVATIONS IN NEWSPAPERS

This Australian newspaper has three “breaking news” calls on its front page.

Really?

This must be a world record.

Breaking … what?

This may the last newspaper in the last newspaper market in the world that can report “breaking news.”

Newspapers need “exclusive news,” because these are the only “breaking news” stories available in the 24/7, all-news-all-the-time “live” media landscape.

CNBC is providing “instant reaction” today after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates.

Well, what we need is not “instant reaction” but “instant analysis.”

So, in a 24/7, all-news-all-the-time environment, what we need are jourAnalysts.

Not just blah, blah, blah…

As always, facts and analysis are expensive, opinions and reactions are cheap.

UPDATE: The CNBC coverage of the new rates was as good as possible, but again the Federal Reserve decision was not the one expected by 51% of the experts surveyed by CNBC before the breaking news.

These financial analysts are, poor guys, out of the loop.

For sure.
