Thinking about Rupert Murdoch – Google Fuss, the shrinking of the Washington Post to only DC, The fudging of news paper circulation numbers, the collapse of the consumer economy are all signs of the conflict and the stress of the old system. Concurrently we are way beyond a few early adopters in the new. I see the growth of web based platforms for accessing media of all types, the explosion of devices to add content, the early sucess of new models such as Huffington, iTunes, Politico, Hulu, YouTube – this feels even beyond Supporters mobilize as much of the new – while not fully formed is already mainstream in usage.
Where are we along this line?
Above the line we appear to be in the Conflict Zone. Murdoch and the vitriol from the established media folks is the signal that tells me that we are here.
On the consumer/user/formerly audience front – a decisive shift to the web has taken place.
As Clay Shirky suggests, the new business model is not here yet. But one thing is for sure, old media is going broke. In Canada Canwest cannot even give a TV station away!
Maybe the new needs the utter collapse of the old in its market to get a hold financially?
What if in your town, there was no Newspaper or TV station at all? Then the new would get a foothold I think.
With the old growth cleared, what happens? New growth that was blocked by the old grows in its place.
We have been waiting maybe for the wrong thing to happen. We have hoped for the new model. But so long as the old canopy is blocking the light, the new and tender cannot grow.
So long as the Dinosaurs were about, the mammals were going no where.
So with the new nearly ready and the people ready – we wait for the fire and the then open space. 2011 is my bet.
