In my last blog I commented about the failure of the newspaper in Denver, and discussed how we'll all have to start relying increasingly on news from additional sources – such as blogs. Then I went on to comment about how easy it is for a business to miss a market shift – just as the newspapers have. They could have invested more in .com sites and bloggers for the last decade – but didn't because they kept thinking their market would return to the old ways of behaving.
I would like YOUR COMMENTS. This blog tends to be my rants about all the things I see wrong in industries and companies – with the occasional catch of someone doing something right. But I would really enjoy hearing more about what all of you think. So, building on the newspaper blog, I would really enjoy having people comment along a couple of tracks:
- How do you get your news? Are you still using newspapers a lot, or not? Do you think newspapers will remain important, or not? If you're starting to use the web more for news – where do you find information that is valuable? Where do you get important news?
- Do you think your business is soft – or do you think perhaps your market is shifting and therefore will require
changes in your Success Formula to be successful in the future? How much of your business issues are due to the market, and how much are do to market shifts? Could you be in the position newspapers were in 2000 without admitting it?
I look forward to hearing from you. Please comment here on the blog, you don't have to register. Or send me your comments via email.
