Kodak, one of the major online photo repositories, will soon start charging user fees at the risk of photo deletion. Are Web fees for formerly free sites becoming the norm? Renita Jablonski talks to LA Times business columnist David Lazarus.
As far as revenue streams go, I would be willing to sponsor this one particular podcast and have my logo appear beneath it on the American Public Radio site and on all embeds, but no one offers thi$. Maybe in the future?

Jon Stewart ends the interview by challenging Jim Cramer to remove words “financial expert and In Cramer We Trust” from his show. He also suggest that Cramer gets “back to fundamentals of reporting” so that he (Jon Stewart) can get back to making “fart noises and funny faces for a living! Cramer agrees, and they shake hands on it. Will it be so?
I think what we are seeing from this particular feud are two things:
1- The beginning of a class war between the rich and powerful VS. everyone else.
2- A wider realization that the internet paradigm is real and affecting how people learn things, exchange ideas, and broadcast those ideas. If traditional media does not step up and show the “everyone else” category from point 1 that they are relevant and trustworthy, expect their value (to readers and advertisers) to continue to plummet.

When asked by Daljit what serving up page impression upon page impression will do to news value, Jarvis argues that “aggregation and curation becomes a value”. This is a short interview, but Jarvis makes predictions about a couple papers and states his opinion that he is against a newspaper bailout.
He also talks about the successful New Jersey news site / blog baristanet.com and one of my old employers, The Star-Ledger (and Jarvis’s through Advance) and how these media companies might come together, network, and grow her platform.

“There’s always a new Luddism whenever there’s change.” – interview by Russ Juskalian from Columbia Journalism Review -Go read this interview it is great!
from the interview, “What the Internet has actually done is not decimate literary reading; that was really a done deal by 1970. What it has done, instead, is brought back reading and writing as a normal activity for a huge group of people.”
That’s a great point, and one that newspaper and television owners, I suspect, are terrified of. People are now “distracted” by doing things other than reading a newspaper or watching television.
