Yes I agree with your last point. You could package up apps, community, meetups, tutorials, shopping and content around a particular niche. People are much more used to paying to support their hobbies and interests. It would be a premium product that people actually want to buy.
I think the magazine and tv industry are much closer to this than newspapers. Just look at some of the BBC titles that have TV, web, magazines and even live shows.
- carlmungz 10y agoAnother thing media companies are failing to do is providing an API for their content. I think the Guardian, NYTimes and USA Today are the only big international papers with a decent API system. Journalists have so many skills in the area of research, investigation, storytelling etc which I feel we are not exploiting enough. I think the BBC is not the best example to use in the sense that they are not competing commercially. However, I agree they have created products which would work well if packaged up separately.
