You are spot on with your comment… which is consequently what we at Publish2 are in the process of developing… a new business model for news (which will be unveiled soon).

And Om, thank you for reserving judgment until you’ve had a chance to take a detailed look at our service… which will be very soon.

They must convince those advertisers who normally place ads in their print product to also place ads on their websites.</p> What newspapers need is not more “tools” or strategic “advice” from outsiders, but improved revenue generation from advertisers.

Reading news on the internet used to be cool because there was a technical barrier to entry - now that it’s virtually gone I can’t seem to find new information without weeding through pages and pages of noise.

I finally gave up and just added 10 trusted sources to my feed reader (one of which is gigaom :) ) - I might as well be subscribing to the paper (albeit a paper that is specifically tailored to news I’m interested in). That’s cool, but I’m missing one important piece of the puzzle - a good source of content discovery. All of the resources available right now, in my opinion, suck.

I don’t know if Publish2 is the answer, but I think it’s premature to write them off as irrelevant.

I am not against the idea of Publish2, except it is not clear that the system is, and what/how they are going to change the game. I am all for helping traditional media use tools to survive, but are tools really the problem with the media today?
