How The Guardian And The 3 Little Pigs Hope To Keep The Wolf From The Door « BBH Labs
Author: Jason Gonsalves, Head of Strategy, BBH London Our first ad for The Guardian broke on Wednesday night. It’s basically a product demo taken to epic proportions, re-telling and shedding new light on the classic story of the 3 Little Pigs. If you haven’t seen it already check it out and see what you think. Then below I’ve shared the thinking behind the work for anyone interested in hearing a little more.
The race is on at places that, until recently, did not think they could be or would be in the live video business. The Internet and a fleet of devices like the have made it possible for, say, The Wall Street Journal to compete with CNBC and CNN for viewers’ time. The Journal already produces about four hours of live programming each weekday, with plans for more hours this year. Other newspapers, like The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, are preparing their own live programs as well. Last week, the Web site of The New York Times started running a morning business newscast, which joined its existing taped daily show, TimesCast.

At The New York Times Company’s R&D Lab, the group’s collective of technologists, artists, and journalists talks a lot about “information shadows” — the auras of data that surround us in our daily lives. Tracking and processing the info trails we leave, the thinking goes, allows for deeper insights into ourselves — and it can also help media organizations to provide their users with news consumption experiences as intimate as they are relevant. We tend to emphasize the “self” aspects of “ the quantified self “; the R&D Lab is exploring what it means to be a part of a quantified community — and, for the Times, what it means to be a provider of information to that community. I recently had the chance to visit the R&D Lab, which is housed on the 28th floor of the Times building in New York. In the video above, Matt Boggie , The Times Co.’s Media & Technology Strategist for R&D, demonstrates the Times’ screen-top version of a kitchen table.

I love the newsroom. Yes, I keep saying that. I can remember the exact layout of my first, when I was a cub reporter 40 years ago at The Daily Iowan , the University of Iowa student newspaper. After that came a paying job at one of the Dow Jones news wires.Future of media: This is no time for incrementalism — Tech News and Analysis
The print subscribers we lose are typically loyal readers who spent 40-plus minutes with The Post each day and have done so for years. The majority of online readers — both new and old — are promiscuous, read tiny morsels in under five minutes per visit and think the same Post content that others pay for in print is not worth paying for online. Paywalls and apps aren’t the answer The WaPo editor also notes that while many mainstream media companies have gotten good at cutting costs, they have “consistently failed to imagine and then incubate a Craigslist, a Groupon [or] a Monster.com… nor are they any closer today than they were last year in fixing the broken business model of quality journalism.” And while charging readers may seem like the right solution, whether via paywalls or iPad apps, Narisetti argues (correctly, I think) that there are some serious issues with those answers as well, including:
