@justinNXT What about advertising approach & put together teams? writer/videographer or writer/programmer? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I worry that good writers will be lost when we require them to do video, programming, etc. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I think we’re best when see ourselves as free agents, ready to work where needed and not invested in 1 company. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #

@journ2journ I’m giving it all away. I’m in the South. I now rely on the kindness of strangers. #journ2journ in reply to journ2journ #
@BenLaMothe I’m betting all I have that you’re correct. #journ2journ in reply to BenLaMothe #
@anndouglas Seriously, @catekustanczy had a point. Journos do best when they listen to sales about community trends. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@anndouglas I’m now bald. I learned not to work 90 hour weeks. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT Repackaging might be the best approach, but I hear from so many readers that they simply have too much info 2 digest #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
I left news to work advertising before I left the field. Only to return to news recently. #journ2journ #
@anndouglas Oddly enough, I handed off the crime maps to make housing listing maps. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT The people have a blogging platform or 3. Do we need 1 designed by The NYT that starts by competing with Patch? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@LifeofMichael True, but a national network of hyperlocals reels my mind. I don’t want Toyata national ads in my hyperlocal. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@danieldoyle communitywalk.com was my tool. I needed a free service. #journ2journ in reply to danieldoyle #
@justinNXT I doubt hyperlocal will ever give fruit. Except for the odd lone wolf. Selling national ads is against the idea. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@anndouglas Now that is information readers want. I did interactive crime maps for over a year. That worked well. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@LifeofMichael Are you saying all news is best locally produced? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@JDEbberly I have now. I have some reading to do. Thanks. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Is it time to say media is like philosophy like the arts? ie supported by the people and only tangibly business? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@JDEbberly I’d like to hear more about your “interactive learning environments.” idea. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Canada is socialist heaven. But what about towns without metros and decent bus systems? Like most of the USA? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael But will they pay them? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael But I’m is a smaller town. What’s in like in the big city? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael I think advertisers have already decided to abandon newspapers. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael All those are together online. Let analysis rule in the magazine. (Plus show reviews and such.) #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@catekustanczy I haven’t first heard of a story in print in years. Someone else always gets it to me first. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael Immediate news is online only. We break news/readership where needed into best use groups. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael She’s watching AI. Is going away from hard news an answer to redeveloping readership? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael re: mags 1) printed on Fri for weekend crowd. 2) longer shelf life 3) more analysis of local stories #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@karenhanson I’ve preached the magazine approach for so long I’m horse. They’re just not listening locally. Up North? #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@catekustanczy Should we let the journos who refuse to change mediums drift away on the ice floe? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael What about your newsroom? Is readership moving online well enough to support the paper? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
Our local NYT regional paper does a decent job online, but readers still aren’t biting. Do we have time for news? #journ2journ #

@palafo My 1st job I carried my own camera. Staff photog would always say: you can shoot more. You don’t pay for printing. #journ2journ in reply to palafo #
@LifeofMichael I’ve heard @LWCOMM pitch. She always has me at “I’ll do it myself for free.” #journ2journ #
@LifeofMichael Can you move your station to Central Florida? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LWCOMM Do they pay a living wage? #journ2journ in reply to LWCOMM #
@catekustanczy Sorry, my bad edit. I meant two person teams. Writer & video or witer & programmer #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@justinNXT What about advertising approach & put together teams? writer/videographer or writer/programmer? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I worry that good writers will be lost when we require them to do video, programming, etc. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I think we’re best when see ourselves as free agents, ready to work where needed and not invested in 1 company. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@karenhanson I am fond of flexibility. It has kept me worry free about survival for #$#%^& years. #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #

@journ2journ I’m giving it all away. I’m in the South. I now rely on the kindness of strangers. #journ2journ in reply to journ2journ #
@BenLaMothe I’m betting all I have that you’re correct. #journ2journ in reply to BenLaMothe #
@anndouglas Seriously, @catekustanczy had a point. Journos do best when they listen to sales about community trends. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@anndouglas I’m now bald. I learned not to work 90 hour weeks. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT Repackaging might be the best approach, but I hear from so many readers that they simply have too much info 2 digest #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
I left news to work advertising before I left the field. Only to return to news recently. #journ2journ #
@anndouglas Oddly enough, I handed off the crime maps to make housing listing maps. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT The people have a blogging platform or 3. Do we need 1 designed by The NYT that starts by competing with Patch? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@LifeofMichael True, but a national network of hyperlocals reels my mind. I don’t want Toyata national ads in my hyperlocal. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@danieldoyle communitywalk.com was my tool. I needed a free service. #journ2journ in reply to danieldoyle #
@justinNXT I doubt hyperlocal will ever give fruit. Except for the odd lone wolf. Selling national ads is against the idea. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@anndouglas Now that is information readers want. I did interactive crime maps for over a year. That worked well. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@LifeofMichael Are you saying all news is best locally produced? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@JDEbberly I have now. I have some reading to do. Thanks. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Is it time to say media is like philosophy like the arts? ie supported by the people and only tangibly business? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@JDEbberly I’d like to hear more about your “interactive learning environments.” idea. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Canada is socialist heaven. But what about towns without metros and decent bus systems? Like most of the USA? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael But will they pay them? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael But I’m is a smaller town. What’s in like in the big city? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael I think advertisers have already decided to abandon newspapers. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael All those are together online. Let analysis rule in the magazine. (Plus show reviews and such.) #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@catekustanczy I haven’t first heard of a story in print in years. Someone else always gets it to me first. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael Immediate news is online only. We break news/readership where needed into best use groups. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael She’s watching AI. Is going away from hard news an answer to redeveloping readership? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael re: mags 1) printed on Fri for weekend crowd. 2) longer shelf life 3) more analysis of local stories #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@karenhanson I’ve preached the magazine approach for so long I’m horse. They’re just not listening locally. Up North? #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@catekustanczy Should we let the journos who refuse to change mediums drift away on the ice floe? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael What about your newsroom? Is readership moving online well enough to support the paper? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
Our local NYT regional paper does a decent job online, but readers still aren’t biting. Do we have time for news? #journ2journ #

So, @BIF , what’s up with “The Local?” http://snipr.com/cytxj NYTimes not realize that was April Fools 2008? http://snipr.com/cyuvl #
@BIF Not her imagination. FF has never played nice with memory. Have you tried Chrome? Easier to peal away and close pages. in reply to BIF #
@JGandB FF minimized memory hog? There’s a tweak. http://snipr.com/cyrwp | Recommend Chrome #

@DavySunshine It’s not the sound, it’s the deal. It’s never been about the noise, that was just a method to deflect the real issues. in reply to DavySunshine #

@Neilochka Tempted? Last I heard a cappella they sang “Bicycle Built for Two.” Is 80s pop a common a cappella group staple? Who’s the best? in reply to Neilochka #

It looks like the NYT thinks we hyperlocal folks had a good idea. Local real estate maps? Maybe crime maps too? http://snipr.com/ctiko #
