The future of news, part II
- A 14-minute podcast follow-up to the previous podcast on the future of news.
- #### Notes
- 2000: How to make money on the Internet.
- 2009: Natural Born Bloggers.
- We gave everyone a broadcast station and a printing press.
- Not everyone does it.
- Say 1 percent are NBBs.
- They all can do it, but most don't want to.
- News orgs will be machines for processing huge amounts of news, adding/teaching quality.
- Evan Williams is doing this at Medium.
- But I don't like that he has a bottleneck, that his publishing system requires that you write and store your writing on his servers.
