"We are no longer a newspaper company."

Thu, 31 May 2012 09:37:08 -0400

“We are no longer a newspaper company.”

- Jim Kirk, Editor-in-chief, Chicago Sun-Times Media Holdings, in a memo to staff. Crains. Sun-Times shuffles newsroom, stresses digital moves.

The ever important pivot that every traditional newspaper publisher is realizing: “We are a technology company that happens to publish a newspaper. We deliver content. And we will deliver content on many platforms and in ways that we haven’t yet fully considered.”

“Facebook is a company of technologists, not marketers. If you wanted to bet on someone succeeding in the marketing business, you’d bet on technologists only if they could invent some new way to sell; you wouldn’t bet on them to sell the way marketers have always sold.”

“

So I offer up a plea. Let us not pretend that people’s interactions with the tangibles and intangibles of brands even begin to approximate the nature of our most meaningful relationships.

I don’t mind if marketing- and adland want to colonize swathes of popular culture.

But I do mind when marketing jargon trivializes the idea and meaning of a relationship, confuses lazy language (at best) or narcissism (at worst) for fact, and diverts our energies from what really matters.

For businesses, being good at copying is at least as important as being innovative.

The first question I am normally asked when presenting a new idea is “Who else is doing this?” or the cousin variant “Who else is doing this well?”.

Things You Can Do That You Never Used To

Via Archive.org:

For over a decade, CNN (Cable News Network) has been providing transcripts of shows, events and newscasts from its broadcasts. The archive has been maintained and the text transcripts have been dependably available at transcripts.cnn.com. This is a just-in-case grab of the years of transcripts for later study and historical research.

So if you can’t get enough of whatever it is they’re trying to do in the Situation Room, a one gig tarball of text is waiting for your download.
