  • Proposed French Law Targets iTunes DRM
    The French don’t like proprietary systems — Apple becomes the new Microsoft.

  • Big media and the internet
    Here is the problem: new media requires nimble moves. Old media can’t move quickly. If the old media wants to maintain dominance, it needs to stop worrying and learn to love mistakes.
  • Twelve Newspapers in a State of Nature
    Now that the McLatchy media empire has absorbed the Knight-Ridder empire (do empires absorb or swallow?), the question of what happens to the briliant San Jose Mercury News? And, of course, what happens to the great journalism K-R has been advocating?
