I think its weird to think of well established corporations as start-ups since the synergy between the members of the start-up and the personal relationship they develop with the business can't be replicated to legacy corporations. I think what Murdoch is doing will kill off a few of his enterprises, the idea for paying for information on the web is ludicrous because no user wants to be hassled by that. The thing about newspapers is that they should learn how to sell in-depth analysis and selling the information they have in their databases, much like other internet companies. Either way they need to open up more to technology since in 20 years print will be deemed an environmental sin IMHO Hey thanks for the link Nick.

Funny story: I left the job I was at when I wrote that to go work for a startup-like online team in corporate at a news company. And there, I found other people calling for newspapers to act more like startups. And then I left that job. For a startup. ;) Hi Nik – Thanks for the link to that old (in Internet years) post of mine that called for news organizations to act more like startups.

And then I left that job.

For a startup.
