It has been interesting the last few days to study the emerging ideas from the Revenue Two Point Zero exercise looking for new financial models for journalism.
A group of journalists and news managers has been focusing on four principal areas: Build an effective advertising model for news content delivered on smart phones, such as the iPhone. Create a better Craigslist. Show newspaper-centric companies how they can better meet the advertising needs of small- and medium-sized businesses. Re-imagine the homepage and display advertising. Its process to date is developing some common-sensical notions for change, and it's worth keeping abreast of what it does.
