The Media Company "I Wish" to Work For, too!

 

Mark Glaser writes technology features for TechWeb, occasional features for The New York Times' Circuits section and a bi-weekly e-mail newsletter for the Online Publishers Association, whose membership includes most major media companies online. That won't stop him from taking cheap potshots at these outlets, when necessary. "Time for someone to do it, to make the case for a new way of doing journalism, to stop talking about change in decades and start thinking about change in months and days. To stop complaining about the way things are, and the way things don't work, and to start doing it differently...", he says.
Glaser has an interesting essay on Pressthink: The Media Company I Want to Work For-- Not Someday, But Now. Says Glazer:

"I am tired of waiting for media companies to change and figure out the way that the business is shifting right beneath their short-sighted eyes. When are they going to understand that their readers are more important than their stockholders? When are they going to understand their readers at all?"

I and Glaser share the same idea about such a company's website:

"There would be no registration or walls to content, archives, or old links."
