“Don’t tell me what you believe,tell me what you know”
From a grumpy old-timer to a flamboyant young politician in a TV show

The Chicago-based company now generates 85% of its revenue from digital sales, and also recently started offering a digital encyclopedia for tablet computers.
The company began digital publishing in the late 1980s with CD-ROM versions of the books, before going online in 1994. Online versions of the encyclopedia are now used by
around 100m people worldwide.
Some companies deliver new value

The naked truth (FACT #2 )
The Internet disruption has happened, and the business has been irrevocably altered.
![Page 14: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The only way to survive disruption is to understand the value you need to deliver and shape your oganization accordingly(and it will be painful …)

Where should LATIN MEDIA go?

The DO NOTS are much more clear than the DO’s

Profit from the time window opportunity and learn from the mistakes the big guys made
Try to avoid 6 frequent sins of digital transition for media companies
(the bigger the company, the higher the frequency)
![Page 19: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cold feet (a.k.a Denial)
When the net blossomed in the 90 s, why didn’t newspapers ′respond?
Because classified ads were a cash-cow and CEOs were responsible to Wall Street, so few had the courage to see Craigslist as a threat
and blow up their cash-cow.
And that is the Innovator’s Dilemma.The giants won’t eat their young.
IF SOME ELSE IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR REVENUES AWAY IT WOULD BETTER BE YOURSELF, BUT PLAYING BY THE NEW RULES
![Page 20: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Newsroom and product egocentrism
Forget about ‘content management’ and focus on ‘audience development’
Content is just a means to an end.
The end, and media’s greatest asset, is audience.Advertisers don’t pay to reach content , they pay to reach
audience
DON’T LET YOUR STATUS QUO DETERMINE THE VALUE PROPOSITION. DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR CMS. PRODUCT (TECH) & NEWSROOMS ARE
CONSECUENCES, NOT CAUSES
![Page 21: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But this theory that newspapers could have somehow won a war against the internet if they had just charged users for content misses the point.
The “original sin” of the online news business
A failure to charge for content when the web was new
The paywall mirage
![Page 22: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Some publishers say, “They bought it before, they’ll buy it again,” or “We need to get people back into the habit of paying for news.”
But consumers never did pay the true costs.
Newspapers have never made the bulk of their income from readers who pay for content.
Subscription prices and newsstand sales have always been subservient to advertising.
Besides paywalls are a privilege only for a few producers of differentiated content.
ENCOURAGE READERS TO SEE THEMSELVES AS MEMBER OF AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB WITH PERKS AND REWARDS. BUILD RELATIONSHIP FIRST, THEN MONETIZATION FLOW FROM THERE.

Advertising dollars are already online, just going elsewhere (evil companies …)
![Page 25: Portada Conference 2012 - Gabriel Dantur](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555b6579d8b42a66338b4f85/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This confirms a much feared trend. By and large, in a news context, the performance of digital advertising is on the decline.
All indicators are now flashing red: CPM (cost per thousand impressions), cost per click, volumes, yields, etc.
NOBODY CLICKS ON A BANNER IN A NEWS SITE
The cause is well-known, and way more acute for digital than for print: ads and news contents do compete for the same eyeballs.
DELIVER ADDED VALUE FORMATS. RICH MEDIA. CONTENT MARKETING. INTRUSIVE ADVERTISING. BRANDING SOLUTIONS.

Do everything pure play Internet companies are doing but with a worst value proposition
We did it many times and failed. But lucky enough, we knew how to fail fast.
(let me share our two worst cases …)

[The iPad is] a fatal distraction for media companies. Too many publishers looked at the tablet as the road home to their magazine
format, subscription model, and expensive full-page ads.
The format of a single device does not change the fundamental ecosystem underneath it, and this shiny tablet has taken media
companies’ eyes off of the ball.
Probably you will only be successful in migrating your actual faithful base of paper products to a new device.
The tablet paper replica illusion
REMEMBER. NEW GAME & NEW RULES. ZITE AND FLIPBOARD ARE SETTING THE BENCHMARK.
