These tools make her city smaller. She was a reporter in Nelson BC when she started.

Raul:

So she needed tools to connect. People want to talk to her, and it’s her door.

Raul:

That’s part of the WHY. – Because it makes my city smaller.

A big part of our jobs is to tell people what’s happening. I consider it kind of a social scanner if you will.

Twitter especailly, makes @lisaj ‘s city smaller. Is another way to source material rather than just friends of journalists. #nv10

RT @BryanAlexander: #BlogsAreDead: they haunt some fields, like politics, standing for feared argument. And also closed blogs’ persistence is ghostly. #nv10

They use Facebook – maybe the family is fine with Facebook memorials – they ask. But Lisa Johnson – it can be YOU who we are trying to get information about.

Raul:

No herding cats, more like recombinant DNA (Kirk Lapointe).

Beware digital nihilism – beware of those people who say that print is dead, that there is no future for print journalism.

We will die before the newspaper does.

How about other artistic mediums? Perhaps medium “dies” but actually feeds all that comes. Evolution of blogs…@fncll #nv10 #blogsaredead

The newspaper is not dead.

There is no audience problem, there’s no news problem, there IS a business problem.

At the moment, Kirk spends more than 50% of his time on digital, <5% revenue.

Topic, not article, is the centre piece.

Saturday May 8, 2010 11:21 Raul

11:21

Raul:

Our starting point needs to be the topic. When we considering that there is something worth considering, how will we assemble all these assets and produce them? We don’t think about stopping.

Journalists need to stop thinking about stories, its about topics. The paper is the final edition of the website. @kirklapointe #nv10

Raul:

Know more each day about your audience. Now we need to analyze our audience, we need to understand who they are, what it is that they are consuming and what they are not consuming and find time to do some of the more important news. We need to understand our audience. I would argue that almost noone we are not gathering our audience. WE are building content intuitively.

Saturday May 8, 2010 11:23 Raul

11:24

Raul:

Know SEO > CP style. Knowing SEO might be more important than understanding the style. After all, how are you going to find your audience? Maybe a little while ago, that would attract your audience. Today

Saturday May 8, 2010 11:24 Raul

11:25

Raul:

Engagement is not a frill.

When you get comments – you need to engage them. You can’t engage in every conversation, but you want to keep the thread on, and when you have an opportunity to do so, you need to really believe that the community will be there.

Community: the flesh is willing, the spirit is not weak.

Saturday May 8, 2010 11:25 Raul

11:26

Raul:

The next decade is messy, but I can be fired more easily than you. I encourage the journalists that are around me, to experiment. The ones that stay put, I can’t do much, except keep encouraging them.
