Doc gives a bit of advice to newspapers. Some great ones, a few of which I’ve mentioned here before. My favorite:
Fourth, start following, and linking to, local bloggers and even competing papers (such as the local arts weeklies). You’re not the only game in town anymore, and haven’t been for some time. Instead you’re the biggest fish in your pond’s ecosystem. Learn to get along and support each other, and everybody will benefit.
The shark doesn’t eat the remora. Likewise, the big media companies shouldn’t compete with the bloggers, but recognize their importance.
Also of note, Doc mentions the controversy happening out in LA with ther LATimes publisher. And now he’s out .
