One Man & His Blog: Fighting Change, Every Step of the Way

  • Kristine · 2 years ago

    I just attended a 3-hour talk with the editor of the Spokesman-review. You should have heard his solution to dealing with his most change-resistant editor (I forgot if it was at Spokesman-Review though, have yet to transcribe my 16 pages of notes): he sent her on a 5-week tour across the US to investigate the future of newspapers (mostly to research institutes and think tanks, only one paper as he didn't find newspapers very much in tune with the future). She wrote a book about it and became the most radical agent for change on the paper. You might have heard about their work at Spokesman-Review of course, but it was so many (hundred, thousands, lightyears) away from the reality of Scandinavian media that I found the seminar very inspiring, refreshing etc. And people were very much encouraged to come to Spokane on a study tour...

    Dear Karl,



    I am now a cynic about online publishing. Please send me on a 5-week tour across the US.



    Yours sincerely,



    Adam
