Spiral Death Watch: Newspaper Ads In The Can
Speaking of newspapers, how much fun would it be to be given a newspaper, cart-blanche to reinvent without any corporate overhead, but with full access to its inherent resources? You have a great infrastructure, printing presses (sell them!) and in the case of a good amount of them, great local awareness. My secret dream: being given a year, as CEO, to do a ground-up reinvention of a newspaper. Anyone interested?
I’d love to join you … let’s make sure we get the electronic archives, microfiche, clippings and old photos.
Oh, we need to get the historical society involved – help with sense of place. Some great software and some folks that hate meetings and politics but love getting things done.
I would love to start with the newspaper and come up with the thing that people would want to read and the product that would evolve as technology evolves.
Call me (I mean text me, or facebook me, or email me or hifive me or …)
sign me up too…
kick out a outline for a biz plan and get it funded..

The newspaper is a good idea, but I think I’d have more fun (and more upside) in 12 months with a terrestrial radio station…
