I accuse the 'digital' executives who in the mid-90s formulated a myopic strategy that rapidly proved mistaken and obsolete but which they and successors, with staggering zombie-like persistence, have continue to pursue to this day. Read this indictment. https://t.co/KMUF40owQw

HMS Titanic navigated icebergs better than the Mass Media industries have navigated the new media environment. Learn what course traditional media companies should have taken (and perhaps still can) before their sinking corporations need snorkels.

The first quarter of the 21st Century has unequivocally proven that the decisive capability of personal computer-mediated technologies is individuation rather than mere digitization. Does time remain for the Mass Media industries to adapt? https://t.co/WZ2D7kDWOt

Revamped newsletter focuses on the new genus of media that has already superseded the Mass Media as billions of consumers' predominant way of obtaining news, entertainment, and other information. Do you disagree with what it says? See for yourself. https://t.co/UACrSsjEet

A cutting critique of Mass Media journalists' perennial proclivity to blame anyone except themselves for the billions of consumers worldwide who have stopped using those journalists products or services, no matter if in print, broadcast, or online. https://t.co/TSyjfd3z9f

More than 25 years ago, the Mass Media industries myopically and thus catastrophically took the wrong path adapting to personal computer-mediated technologies. Subscribe to learn how, why, and what those industries might be able to salvage. https://t.co/bwPYd0kAaF

Every economist I’ve ever read or spoken to on my show or asked in casual conversations say that tariffs are unquestionably the dumbest idea in the history of economics: they slow economic growth, raise prices, lower demand, and crater the stock market. Way to go MAGA!

I wonder how many user noticed that Microsoft quietly changed the default font for body text in Word from Calibri to Aptos?

If NYTimes's % of newspaper employees is increasing from 1% towards 10%, it's yet more evidence that NYT is an outlier, a national paper, & its adaptation strategy not a fit for the other 1,000+ U.S. dailies. A true strategy will aid the average-sized paper, not just a titan.

The Hungarian restaurant owner (42, Budapest, 1 star) Alexander ‘The Guest’ Varga’s YouTube channel reviews Michelin-starred restaurants. His most recent is about Alchemist, in Copenhagen, which is ridiculously over-the-top.
