Hoping for TEDx and Saving the Newspaper in the Meantime
David Vogel wants to save the newspaper industry. He wrote an extensive blogpost about it and with it he hopes to win a couple of minutes at the prestigious Amsterdam TEDx Congress next week. His “Big Idea” in brief: newspapers should be better aware of the laws of the internet. If they would understand them better, ultimately they would be fine, he says.
Vogel, an internet designer, is convinced that newspaper executives need to change their behavior. They should become “more open, accountable and thorough in the checks and balances”. Next to that, Vogel thinks that newspapers should enable readers to actually contribute something. If a journalist writes about a certain project, a reader might want to donate money, Vogel thinks. And in doing so, the ties between reader and paper might get stronger, hel hopes.
Nice way to get on the TEDx stage. But still a long way to save the paper.
