Through another's eyes

In line with my post from the other day, Martin Langeveld blogged about some of his ideas for the floundering industry.

My favorites:

"'Only 3 percent of newspaper reading happens online.' That’s newspaper reading, not news reading."

"...newspapers are in no position to charge for content, with the possible exception of high-value niche content in limited circumstances. The last thing an industry hard hit by disruption should be doing is raising prices, whether from zero to something, or from something to something more."

And he's an advocate of social networking! The perfect package. I hope there are a whole lot of journalists like him milling around out there.
