  • Is the app economy killing online publishers?

    Updated: 2011-09-27 09:06:49
    by Yaron GalaiA few months ago I tweeted this: "If I were a publisher I would either: a) pull my app from the App Store or b) invest all available cash in Apple stock." The latter piece of advice was probably pretty solid, if not very practical -- Apple's stock has been performing like no other in recent history. But my former piece of advice for publishers - to pull their apps from the App Store - doesn't seem to have resonated much, as many publishers keep pushing out their respective iPhone and iPad apps.Continue reading on GigaOm

  • News organizations should build apps that solve problems, not just republish content

    Updated: 2011-09-23 10:50:45
    News organizations whose mobile apps only provide users with their articles or videos are missing a big opportunity.An application, by definition, should be applied to perform a task, to solve a problem. Most news doesn't do that.Rather than just feed readers recent stories you wrote about their problems, apps can provide tools and data that enable users to actually solve their problems. When you solve problems, you get more loyal users and a chance to make more money. Here's how.Continue reading on Poynter

    Pundits have been quick to predict the demise of daily deals following the recent news that Facebook and Yelp have scaled back their entries into the market, and that Groupon has delayed its IPO. Rather than buy into this hype, local media need to view this moment as an opportunity to double down and consolidate their positions to capitalize on this important new revenue stream.While the deals industry is clearly going through a shakeout, revenue around deals is still growing at an impressive pace.Continue reading on Street Fight

    Book publishers are surrounded by hungry new competitors: Amazon, with its steadily growing imprints; authors who publish their own e-books; online start-ups like The Atavist and Byliner. Now they have to contend with another group elbowing into their territory: news organizations. Swiftly and at little cost, newspapers, magazines and sites like The Huffington Post are hunting for revenue by publishing their own version of e-books, either using brand-new content or repurposing material that they may have given away free in the past.
