The AP and newspapers
AP chairman Dean Singleton has made some public statements regarding newspapers and the AP that deserve a response.
First, it's not true that newspapers weren't complaining about rates until after AP revealed its plans to cut $21 million from rates for 2009.
Here's what Singleton said.
"I'm at a loss as to what some of the members are complaining about. The AP gave $21 million in fees back to the members and they weren't complaining before they gave it back. Now they're complaining, I guess because it wasn't more."
AP knows that companies were complaining as early as August 2007. Scripps met with the CEO of AP and some of his top executives at that time to discuss its concerns about rates. Enough said.
Then he says "AP has become the whipping boy for an angry bunch of editors who want to blame somebody for their woes.."
That's opinion so he's welcome to it. But I know that we are trying to work constructively with AP at the same time as we are expressing concerns about rates. And AP is working constructively with us. AP is no whipping boy. Editors are being asked to rethink every aspect of their operations. Why wouldn't they examine AP? The truth is that the Internet has enabled a range of competitors for AP, at the same time as it has opened all kinds of new opportunities for AP.
This editor isn't angry nor is he looking for a whipping boy. But we have to examine every expense and ask whether it's worth it in today's economy and today's media environment.
The Rocky Mountain News cancelled the New York Times News Service effective Jan. 1, 2008. I didn't receive one complaint. We can cancel a lame comic strip and get dozens. The reason, I believe, is readers' expectations of local publications are changing. The New York Times provides all its content for free on the Web before any reader can see it in the Rocky Mountain News. And they can see the whole thing, not just our edited version. Clearly that makes sense for the Times and the readers. But it doesn't make sense to continue spending our money on it. The AP faces legitimate questions about its future role, just as local news organizations do.
That's not because editors are angry. It's because the world is changing.

That's too bad. I realize RMN has to cut costs, but how much more effective would it have been to change staffing hours so RMN could post the same time as the NYT? And - in doing so - keep readers on your website? What happens if you use AP stories and localize the news - giving readers a package - the national story with local impact. Editors have localized stories for years. Readers like the big picture AND the local angle as well. Yes, the AP is changing and news certainly is. Step away from competing with "content" and focus on what readers want MOST - like STORIES about their world/local and otherwise and NEWS about those stories. A quick study of webstats will show what has legs. A focus group will show you why. Bottom line is, people are attracted to relevancy, connection and things that affect them. IF you can give them that you won't suffer for readers.

John --
Dismount the dinosaur. Stop the presses. Go to the Web with no security of salvation for the Rocky news organization but with the absolute security that there's no future in printing daily paper.
I'm ready to pay for a subscription if the RMN goes web-only. Poll the readership on this! My guess is that you'll still lose money until the economy comes back, but you'll lose it a LOT SLOWER as a web-only publication.
If there's a choice, paper or silicon, people will tend to paper because it's familiar. If the game is over and it's silicon-only, the community still needs your news organization.

The web subscription is already available through the Rocky's E-Edition. Why aren't you already a subscriber? The issue is not readership. More readers use the RMN's advertising and news than ever before in its history. That's a fact. Print is still powerful, note books and many magazines are more popular than ever. The issues are the advertising and economic recession, and classified advertising, the most profitable advertising for newspapers, has been disrupted by free web advertising. News needs to be in print and on the web. Not just on the web. Now, John, sign him up for the E-Edition.

I guess no one at the RMN can do any research and find good news like this that never gets reported (posted on robinsonandlong.com at 4:37 am 1/2/09):
BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. formally transferred control of the Green Zone to Iraqi authorities Thursday in a pair of ceremonies that also handed back Saddam Hussein's former palace. Iraq's prime minister said he will propose making Jan. 1 a holiday marking the restoration of sovereignty. Under the new security agreement between Washington and Baghdad to replace a U.N. mandate for foreign troops in Iraq, the Iraqi government also now has control of American troops' actions and of the country's airspace.
Regardless of the fact that this one came from the AP, we live in a country where it has become ideologically correct to supress any success in Iraq and with our military.

You pay 3.99 a month for pro features on weebly's web site. You pay 9.95 to get a month for the premium' features on fatcow after which another 2.95 a month for shopping cart functionality which is free on the weebly web site to begin with.
