Okay, so here’s the thing: proposing a thesis like “How to Save Journalism” is presumptuous as hell. Right. And “How to Save Journalism in Five Minutes or Less?” Stupid stupid stupid. This is a text slide because this idea like many, is complicated. Only a jackass would claim to have The Answer, and a short deck can’t replace a long articulate argument. But I have a few ideas and I’d like to talk about them. Thanks for humoring the text slide.

Journalism is Human. Brands are Functional.
Inherently Curious (news gathering)
Profit Motive (content monetization)
Inherently Social (sharing of information)
Distribution
Inherently Lazy (fast and easy) Branding and Marketing (product creation)

…and it does not need to be ‘saved.’
Remember: - Who - What - When - Where - Why…. are Human actions.
