TV : fini de rigoler. "Pendant des années les gens de télé ont ri (avec raison) du numérique.
Aujourd'hui, il est temps pour eux d'arrêter de rigoler ! ", a prévenu, lundi à Münich, l'éditeur de Business Insider, leader américain de l'info économique et high tech en ligne. "Comme dans d'autres médias traditionnels, l'audience est train de partir, et comme ailleurs, l'argent suivra cette audience là où elle ira". En quelques graphiques très parlants, présentés à la conférence DLD (Digital Life Design) du groupe de presse allemand Burda, Henri Blodget a dressé un constat inquiétant, mais étayé. pb D'une manière général, Blodget, souligne la migration massive actuelle de l'ensemble des médias numérique vers le mobile "où nous passons déjà une heure par jour".
Cette migration est aussi valable pour la vidéo, avec des heures différentes de prime time selon les écrans, mais aussi pour les réseaux sociaux et les messageries. Les revenus de Google US sont désormais plus gros que ceux des journaux et magazines américains. Value in the media industry is moving to the edges, and publishers are in the middle.
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about Facebook’s increasing role in how people get their news, and whether or not that is a good thing and/or what to do about it.
But one of the smartest things I’ve read on the topic comes from freelance tech analyst Ben Thompson, who writes a blog called Stratechery — and who put Facebook’s dominance into context with a post about how value in the media industry is moving to the edges, and publishers are stuck in the middle. Since Thompson is a technology analyst and his blog is about strategy, he starts off by talking about how the IT business has changed over time, and in particular the rise of specialized component makers such as Largan Precision of Taiwan (which makes the camera components for the iPhone).

News sites attract millions of readers and online audiences are on the rise, boosted by the explosion of mobile use. News Media: Diversify or Die. InShare41.
Fungible. We don’t realize how much news media has changed in the past fifteen years.
We really don’t. I’m not talking about digital first or about blogging or about data journalism or the mobile web or the curation craze. Yes, journalism has evolved and is better for it. Journalism’s biggest competitors are things that don’t even look like journalism. Ever since the web was invented, newspapers and other media entities have had to continually expand their view of who their competition is: in the good old days it was other newspapers, and then TV, and then after the web it became other news websites, or maybe Yahoo or Google.
But even now, their perspective on that competition may still be too narrow — as my friend Om has argued, they are competing with anything that captures a reader’s attention. And I would argue that they are competing with any service that fills an information need. I started thinking about this again earlier this week, when a link to an old blog post by journalist/programmer Stijn Debrouwere showed up in my Twitter stream, posted and retweeted by multiple people. Kaiser_memo.pdf. The Bad News About the News. Published 10/16/2014 In 1998, Ralph Terkowitz, a vice president of The Washington Post Co., got to know Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two young Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who were looking for backers.

That’s how far away in the past the Google IPO lies. Ten years of explosive growth for the digital world, ten gruesome years for legacy media. Here is the lost decade, revisited in charts and numbers. The asymmetry is staggering. The Internet's Original Sin. Ron Carlson’s short story “What We Wanted To Do” takes the form of an apology from a villager who failed to protect his comrades from marauding Visigoths.
It begins: What we wanted to do was spill boiling oil onto the heads of our enemies as they attempted to bang down the gates of our village. But as everyone now knows, we had some problems, primarily technical problems, that prevented us from doing what we wanted to do the way we had hoped to do it. A New Golden Age for Media? - Justin Fox. An era of investment in the news business is upon us.
Digital disruption: Six consumer trends and what businesses need to do now. Consumer behavior is rapidly changing, with “digital” activities growing rapidly in every sphere (see text box below). In the US, 48 percent of all the video viewed is now either “time-shifted” (using DVRs or video on demand) or “device-shifted” (from television sets to laptops, tablets, or mobile phones). Music is even more digital, with just over two-thirds of usage from streaming services, MP3 files, and satellite radio, leaving traditional AM/ terrestrial FM radio with a mere 32 percent share.
A club that will have me as a member: Voice of San Diego and MinnPost are building out their membership models. About 300 people filled an event space in San Diego a couple weeks ago to take part in a discussion sponsored by Voice of San Diego on innovations with origins in the area. The assembled crowd served as a physical representation of an amorphous concept that’s on the rise in nonprofit journalism: membership.
Every single person in attendance was a paid member of Voice of San Diego, with some of them having joined in order to attend the event. The following week, the site had to rent out an entire restaurant to fit all the members who would attend its monthly coffee talk. News organizations have long tried to turn casual customers into regular ones. “To change destiny, journalists need to fundamentally rethink their business” Ben Thompson, a smart observer of the technology world (lots of interesting stuff at his blog Stratechery), has a piece up on the future of news.
It’s a useful outsider’s view of the business, and he’s right about the unsustainable nature of anything resembling the classic newspaper business model. The reason why I find business models so fascinating is because your business model is your destiny; newspapers made their bed with advertisers, and when advertisers left for a better product, the newspaper was doomed. To change destiny, journalists need to fundamentally rethink their business:— More and more journalism will be small endeavors, often with only a single writer.
The writer will have a narrow focus and be an expert in the field they cover. Presse : quelles stratégies pour augmenter les revenus ?

But that humdrum annoyance created a market opportunity for Nest Labs, whose $249 self-programming thermostat allows users to more easily manage their personal comfort.
Content Exchanges Could Help Save the Publishing Industry. Consumers' appetite for content on a 24-hour basis is at an all-time high, and many publishers are struggling to keep up. Most are experimenting with a multitude of different strategies, from native to mobile to social and more, all in the name of earning revenue and providing readers with a constant stream of fresh, engaging content. But the fact remains that high-quality content, from in-depth articles to premium videos, is scarce. This valued content is expensive and time-consuming to do well, and in today's climate it no longer makes sense for publishers to create great content and have it live only on their own websites. All of this adds up to the need for a radical shift in how publishers do business. Newsonomics - gabrielle.boericharles - Gmail. » Why We Need the New News Environment to be Chaotic Clay Shirky.
