As an entrepreneur I knew we had to do the work, and be open to moving in a new directions. Be careful about saying no. Eventually we made the business work. But it took a lot of listening. Journalism does no listening, and keeps wishing for a savior. https://t.co/s0sZjlWnKY

Is Email the Future of Journalism?

With the industry in free fall, new models are emerging.
