Posted on 06. Nov, 2009 by Jeff Jarvis.
Here’s video version of the talk I keynote talk I linked below for the Munich Media Days conference a week ago.

The future of news is entrepreneurial
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Jeff Jarvis.
The future of news is entrepreneurial. There’s a lot in that statement. It says: The future of news is not institutional… The news of tomorrow has yet to be built…. The structure – the ecosystem – of news will not be dominated by a few corporations but likely will be made up of networks of […]
