Can Journalism Survive the Digital Noise?

I’ve been increasingly concerned about the ability of journalism to thrive in today’s rapidly changing media environment. The rise of technology and social media has created a world where the voices of fact-based journalists are often drowned out by the noise of opinion, misinformation, and clickbait.

Traditional media organizations must operate within a limited framework — constrained by space, advertising ratios, and profitability. As a result, much valuable, factual, and insightful reporting never reaches the public.

But what if there were a way for individual journalists to publish their own work, manage their marketing, and be directly compensated for the value they create?

A new company, Journalocity, is making that possible. It allows writers to create their own publications, write articles, and sell them individually to readers. Writers set their own prices, choose to offer free or paid content, and can promote their work by category — such as business, technology, or community affairs — to reach targeted audiences.

Journalocity earns a small percentage of each writer’s revenue to cover administration, creating a sustainable model that supports independent journalism.

I think this is an innovative and promising approach to revitalizing journalism — empowering journalists, writers, and communities to connect through facts and insight.

Take a look at Journalocity.com and let me know what you think.

The Discussion About Tariffs

I will interrupt my discussion on MVOSSTE and AI to create a new business to discuss an area that should be given a great deal of attention. The current White House administration is using tariffs to "make America wealthy again" and to insure our national security. Regarding making America wealthy again, it should be noted the U.S. is the wealthiest nation on earth and that it has about 30% of the world's wealth and less than 5% of the world's population. It should be noted that in 1960 the U.S. had 40% of the world's wealth and its share has declined. This decline, however, is not due to the U.S. economy shrinking it is due to economies in the rest of the world expanding at a faster rate than the U.S. This makes sense since smaller economies can double in size and still be very small when compared to the U.S. Back in the 1960s the advanced economies recognized it was important to help third world countries grow their economies so they could provide their citizens...

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS As markets and customer preferences change companies adapt to insure success. Adaptations usually are made to capitalize on markets and expertise a firm has developed over its life . Some adaptations are limited to updating packaging or marketing approaches or finding new uses for established products. There are occasions where new products are needed in order to meet new customer needs or address a disruptive market innovation. When addressing changing market needs and market disruptions it is necessary to find good ideas and then have a process to evaluate and narrow the field to the ideas most likely to succeed. Generating new product ideas The first step in generating good ideas that will further develop the markets and expertise that defines the firm is to clearly articulate the job customers are hiring the firm to perform. Here it is important not to be too restrictive in the focus of the definition. It is probab...

Six Steps for Starting A New Business

How Do I Start a Business? It is likely that a person wishing to go into business has a pretty good idea of the kind if business they would like to run. This is generally based on skills the individual has or needs in the market that have been identified as business opportunities. If there is just a desire to be an entrepreneur then the process for identifying a possible business can begin by looking at the kinds of needs that exist in the marketplace. How do you identify market needs? How do people come up with ideas that people don’t know they need until they see them?
