Jobless America- A New Paradigm?

Posted on by

How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America

The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.

Advertising in the Internet Paradigm is Free or Damn Close To It

Making commercials for the web -from SethGodin’s blog

The biggest shift is going to be that organizations that could never have afforded a national campaign will suddenly have one. The same way that there’s very little correlation between popular websites and big companies, we’ll see that the most popular commercials get done by little shops that have nothing to lose.

Businesses that rely primarily on advertising revenue take note.  I’m looking at you Mr. Newspaper, and MS. Magazine and… oh well you get it.  The internet paradigm breaks traditional busines models by undermining prohibitive cost structures.  I don’t need a printing press.  I don’t need a television studio.  All I need is a computer, camera, and passion.

How will you adjust?

Stewart Goes Back to Fart Noises, Cramer Removes “Expert” from Title

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.

Kutiman, Big Media, and the Future of Creative Entrepreneurship -from 43Folders

“Because, this is what your new Elvis looks like, gang. And,
eventually somebody will figure out (and publicly admit) that Kutiman,
and any number of his peers on the “To-Sue” list, should be passed
from Legal down to A&R.”

He’s probably right, but it’s also a little sad.

“Any Idiot Can Do This” – Michael Rosenblum Society of Editors Conference 2008

Posted on by

Michael Rosenblum (former CBS News producer) presenting at the Society of Editors conference November 10, 2008. This is excellent. Exactly the type of paradigm shift and reaction we report on at Metaprinter. He argues, quite convincingly, that in the new information and news paradigm ONE person with a camera can outperform an entire news agency.

“The technology today is all automatic and dirt cheap.  The cost is effectively zero.  The problem that you’re (news producers) encountering is that you’ve come up against a new technology and you don’t like it. ”
