Was wurde eigentlich aus #Blendle?
"Ich glaube, die großen Verlage unterschätzen, wie sehr das", ein zumindest einheitliches eigenes Bezahlsystem, "in ihrem eigenen Interesse wäre – auch um eine Gegenposition zu großen Unternehmen wie Google oder Meta aufzubauen. Wenn man mehr kooperieren würde, könnte man ganz große Potenziale heben."

Kolumne: Das Altpapier am 30. Juli 2024 – Herausforderung ist das konstruktive Wort für Problem

Die EU-Digitalgesetze haben jetzt ein müdes, aber freundliches Gesicht. Die Zeitungsverleger beklagen weiter öffentlich-rechtliche Presseähnlichkeit. Könnte mehr Kooperation eigentlich allen nützen?

This thread from Twitter prompted this rant (very long... sorry) on a potential solution for media in terms of how they are funded. The pay-per-article model, despite being tested over the past decade, has not taken off. I'll give my view on why that is later in this thread, but new models of journalism and new social media technologies can provide hope.

Magazines and newspapers that I *subscribe to* are so hard to access thanks to continued prompts to enter passwords, etc., that I often just resort to accessing them through Apple News. This is a disaster for magazines and papers. Why isn't there a more seamless process in 2024?

I don't think he is any unique savior. Post.News is already doing this, just as one example.

Not to mention advertising-based publishing is soon threatened by big upcoming changes in search.

I actually DO think this is a big issue, I just think inflating Musk's already bloated ego by suggesting he is somehow showing the way or saving the day is not a good approach to talking about it. It sidetracks into hot button personality issues and misses the ubiquity of the scope and the number of other players exploring this.

See also some notes (at links below) that I wrote at post.news before I stopped blogging there about a different way to think about micropayments. (TL;DR Direct pay per article in advance is problematic. I'd rather pay ahead into a pool that later gets divvied out by formula tracking my use frequency and my decisions to highlight articles I ended up valuing.)

See "On the Managing of Micropayments" by me on Post at https://post.news/@/kentpitman/2JbqCKuASm6rIf6LjohMwlTFLRQ
and, in particular, the included post "A vision of Post subscriptions" by me on Post at https://post.news/@/kentpitman/2JYjq2hWQDI61IAPxJ8iwz4i4FZ

Google Is About To Turn The Online Publishing Industry Upside Down

Google plans to change the way it presents search engine results by using artificial intelligence. And, at the risk of overstating the potential consequences, it will be like dropping a nuclear bomb on an online publishing industry that’s already struggling to survive.

Wenn man‘s in der Branche nicht selbst macht und kontrolliert, machen‘s halt Leute wie der hier. Dazu mein Take von 2016: https://digitalpresent.tagesspiegel.de/neues-lesen #subscription #payperarticle
Ein neues Lesen

Leser verlassen sich immer stärker auf Empfehlungen, Algorithmen und greifen auf viele Quellen gleichzeitig zu. Das bedeutet nicht das Ende des Journalismus - im Gegenteil.
