New Media Business Models
Welcome to New Media Business Models. We are trying to map the business infrastructre for media as it transitions into a digital business. It's one of the most fascinating transitions of all time because media is so very important to the quality of our society, government, and our lives. Jul 30
We work with bloggers mainly. That's not to say we don't have editors working for us (we work with editors at the Huffington Post, Business Insider and Technorati — to name a few). We generally meet with resistance when dealing with editors, but bloggers aren't paid as well and most are willing to make some extra money. What we suggest (as long as you think it won't get you into any trouble — we don't want anything that isn't beneficial for both parties) is trying to drop a link in the article, and seeing if the editor mentions it. If he does, remove the link, and we'll go our separate ways. If he doesn't, we'll pay you handsomely, and we can continue if you want to.
The Shady Marketing Scheme That's Buying Off Your Favorite Bloggers
These types of sites have enjoyed surging traffic by creating relatively simplistic content, repurposing and "aggregating" premium content, and gaming Google's search algorithm. But this strategy faces a growing backlash and as a result may have hit its natural ceiling, and that could create opportunities for new online-media models. What makes subpar content subpar? Like pornography, you know it when you see it. Take, for instance, "news" articles that simply paraphrase and quote articles written by journalists, or simple "how to" guides that don't explain much and have no accompanying diagrams, videos or other edifying media.

In the newspaper business, inflating circulation is hardly new. In fact, it is standard practice. The way copies are counted is a soft encouragement to blur the line between loyal and occasional readers. Officially, audit organizations across the world make subtle distinctions between distribution channels. They break down paid/unpaid circulation, mass subscriptions, types of deliveries, etc. On most Western markets, roughly 20% to 35% of the circulation for supposed paid-for newspaper is actually free.

AOL, its investor confidence re-shaken this week, is going to have a harder time staying the course with Patch — at best a longer-term investment. Instead, look for more aggregation models to emerge (like AOL’s new tablet “Editions”). Aggregating other people’s stuff is a whole lot cheaper than originating

Business Insider, over-aggregation, and the mad grab for traffic | Felix Salmon
The news that Business Insider raised approximately $7 million should be great news for those who follow the world of web media. Henry Blodget’s got a flat-out growth story on his hands: his staff of 60 now attracts 12 million visitors a month, according to their internal stats. But there’s reason to be concerned about what Blodget’s team has sacrificed along the way.
Berkeley j-school hires Spot.Us founder to research online business models | Poynter.
David Cohn , who launched community-funded reporting site Spot.Us in 2008, will be conducting research on economic models of online journalism publications and help to develop business products for supporting hyperlocal news sites. He’ll be working with three community sites run by the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism: MissionLocal.org , OaklandNorth.net and RichmondConfidential.org . “These sites will be testing grounds for experimentation to aid in the research for building sustainable business models for small news websites,” says a press release. Cohn writes on his blog that he’ll “remain an active part of Spot.Us and in the coming weeks we should have some exciting news which will cement it as an ongoing business (elevated from a mere experiment) for at least another two years.” Press release
Google Killed the Content Farms, But Didn't Kill Corporate Content Farming
"People tell me that content is king, but that is not true at all," says Rishad Tobaccowala, chief strategy and innovation officer at Vivaki, the digital-media unit of Publicis Groupe SA. "Most people make money pointing to content, not creating, curating or collecting content." Internet pioneers Yahoo and AOL Inc. are losing out to Facebook Inc. and Google Inc., both of which are adept at helping point the way to pertinent or interesting material. As a result, Yahoo and AOL are getting left behind in the fast-growing U.S. market for online advertising, which ballooned 20% to $31.3 billion from 2010 to 2011, according to eMarketer. It's a simple rule of any market. The more information that is created, the more the value is reduced.

Digital First Media, the new company that will manage both chains, is hanging its digital shingle — no doubt using low-voltage power, befitting the frugality of its CEO Paton. Digital First is a fair name — and meant to establish its current-millennium cred. No Tribunes, Posts, or Registers in that name. It’s another way of saying: The newspaper is dead; long live the news. While digital first is the strategy, the mating of MediaNews and Journal Register is about combination, about efficiency. So let’s take a first pass at the newsonomics of what we’ll call ComboCo, the biggest “merging” of properties in our post-analog age. ( McClatchy’s purchase of Knight Ridder , a very long five years ago, stands as the last deal bullish on newspapers.)
As announced earlier this morning , we have formed a new company – Digital First Media Inc. It will manage both the Journal Register Company and Media News Group and its mission will be to accelerate the transformation of both these great firms to a modern, multi-platform media company focused on local news. And, let me tell you, it will be a powerhouse out of the gate with more than 880 products in 18 states serving more than 57 million Americans per month.
