Steve Outing, the ahead-of-his-time Editor & Publisher columnist and entrepreneurial journalist/consultant, has an interesting post on the so-called individuated newspaper. He attended a conference on the topic last week.
The notion that a personally-tailored newspaper (or any kind of content product) is futuristic is wrong. The tech is here now and has been for some time. The bigger question is when some company will decide to stake a lot of energy and resources on the bet that people will consume something directed more specifically than conventional media.
