Media Management in the Age of Giants: Newspapers are left to fend for themselves
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2014/08/newspapers-are-left-to-fend-for.html
Monday, August 11, 2014. Newspapers are left to fend for themselves. More major media corporations are spinning off their print properties - especially newspapers - into separate companies. No longer under the national and in many cases international corporation's umbrella, such print properties are being put out into the storm by themselves. A New York Times. But those results are not enough to satisfy investors" on Wall Street. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Media Management book site. All my fict...

Media Management in the Age of Giants: Will readers be more important than advertisers?
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2012/08/will-readers-become-more-valuable-than.html
Saturday, August 18, 2012. Will readers be more important than advertisers? For the first time since the 1890s, a major daily newspaper is receiving more revenue from readers and circulation than from advertising. New York Magazine. Reported this turn-around in an article. On the second-quarter 2012 report from the New York Times Co. The New York Times. Is "probably the first major paper that has crossed that line," media analyst Ken Doctor said. "It is an interesting moment.". The demise of the nineteen...

Media Management in the Age of Giants: An end to the "good old days" with unions
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2012/07/end-to-good-old-days-with-unions.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. An end to the "good old days" with unions. The success of people banding together for sudden flash-mob rebellions in several Arab countries and elsewhere in 2011 has led to a new dynamic that could foretell problems for managers of companies, if it hasn't occurred already. Now there is conjecture that encrypted texting on smartphones and use of social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and others, could lead to groups being formed spontaneously in a workplace. All my fiction an...

Media Management in the Age of Giants: Employment-at-Will
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2016/01/employment-at-will.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2016. On page 160, the textbook briefly discusses "Employment-at-Will," in which legal sanction is given "to the principle that an employee works only at the will of the employer and can be dismissed at any time, for any legal reason. However, that final caveat is being reinforced by litigation in many employment-at-will states in addition to the book's example of someone being fired contrary to an adopted staff manual's procedures. Marshall said the employer's situation is difficu...

Media Management in the Age of Giants: Ah, the wonders of competition
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2013/09/ah-wonders-of-competition.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Ah, the wonders of competition. Advance Publications is beginning to back off the company's new strategy of publishing a print paper only three days a week and sending subscribers to the Internet the other days.

Media Management in the Age of Giants: The challenge of keeping reader's comments civil
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2012/07/challenge-of-keeping-readers-comments.html
Friday, July 6, 2012. The challenge of keeping reader's comments civil. There have always been letters to the editor. However, the rise of instant reader feedback on the Internet, and the trend of newspapers to print anonymous reactions to the news, have intensified problems in the potentially wild world of interactivity. Involvement of the public in commenting on websites and in newspapers often means that the discussion of serious issues devolves into name-calling, abusive, and even libelous insults.

Media Management in the Age of Giants: Citizen journalists? Or suckers?
http://mediamgt.blogspot.com/2012/09/citizen-journalists-or-suckers.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. There were 9,000 so-called "citizen journalists" who wrote free articles to build Huffington Post into a commanding aggregator site. When founder Ariana Huffington sold it for $315 million in 2001, quite a few began feeling more like suckers than writers — and that's what they were called in a 2012 Doonesbury cartoon. So they filed a class action lawsuit to get "back pay," if you will. The lawsuit was thrown out in a March 2012 ruling. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
