Jeff Jarvis on New Business Models for News 2009 from CUNY Grad School of Journalism on Vimeo. Very interesting IMHO, and one of the pointers to what some kinds of journalism will look like in a networked world.
As a break from editing the bare breasts and sex out of my Egyptian novel Eye of the Moon for a US publisher, I’m reading Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Jeff Jarvis’s What Would Google Do? simultaneously. The three make very odd companions while I shift from 1500 BC to the 16th century, and then on to the digital world of now. In What Would Google Do? Jeff Jarvis suggests we have to...
On Point Radio Jeff Jarvis , Michael Wolff , and Steven Brill were guests on this morning's "On Point with Tom Ashbrook." (Brill once again refused to name any news organizations that have signed up with Journalism Online.) Listen to it .
Amid the rhetoric over how to support the business of journalism , the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism has taken a plunge by creating models of what a news network on the Web might look like with hard, if optimistic, numbers. Broad and multi-tiered spreadsheets filled with detail build upon each other until at the bottom, they predict handsome profit margins for small, medium...
Tim O'Reilly predicted that Microsoft will emerge as a leading proponent of the open Web. In "The War for the Web," a blog post published Nov. 16. He said: "Microsoft will emerge as a champion of the open Web platform, supporting interoperable web services from many independent players, much as IBM emerged as the leading enterprise backer of Linux." But he didn't explain how Microsoft...

Internet is trying to eat itself Web visionary, Tim O'Reilly, has suggested that the we could be heading into an "ugly time" on the internet mirroring the browser wars of the nineties. Talking at the Web 2.0 expo in New York, O'Reilly warned that a number of moves by big organisations like Apple, Google, Facebook and Digg could make the web a closed system. O'Reilly believes that things...
Jeff Jarvis has an interesting post about the “swine flu of stupidity spreading about the Murdoch meme of blocking Google from indexing a site’s content (to which Google always replies that you’ve always been able to do that with robots.txt – so go ahead if you want). I love that The Reach Group (TRG), a [...]

I strongly endorsed a new book by Jeff Jarvis , What Would Google Do? If you want to see Googley thinking in action, check out Michelle Golden's post, Think Your Clients Use Your Firm's Website? Here's the advice: Firms also talk about putting valuable content and tools behind this client-only wall. This is exactly opposite of what your content strategy should be. Put your content and tools "out...

Jeff Jarvis gets some interesting data from a research group in Germany - it's clear that mainstream publishers need Google a whole lot more than Google needs them: TRG took the content of the 1,000 domains controlled by the 148 German publishers that signed the so-called Hamburg Declaration(a veiled shot at Google) and analyzed how critical they are to Google search results. TRG asked the question:...

I came across this 19 second video with Jeff Jarvis through this blog posting. When you think about a company you work for, how generous would you say that the people working for the company are?
One of the bloggers I read regularly is the American journalist Jeff Jarvis. Jarvis provides insight into the changing media landscape, and has written a book called “What Would Google Do”, which uses Google as a case in point of these changes. One of the most interesting aspects of this is what Jarvis calls the “the [...]
