relevance is how well media organizations deliver what matters to their readership.

Up until journalism became a profession rather than a trade...(p)ublishers paid attention to readers needs and wants, and hired and trained editors and reporters accordingly...

The goal is to find some meaningful measure of reader satisfaction and fashion a new journalism that meets reader needs...
Make your focus your audience. Try to figure out what readers want, not just what you think they want.

and are you giving them what they want?

so...how do you become more relevant?

1. have your ear to the ground
![Page 23: Saving media: The UC Berkeley Media Technolgy Summit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5440de89b1af9fef4b8b4585/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

2. be part of the community you cover
![Page 25: Saving media: The UC Berkeley Media Technolgy Summit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5440de89b1af9fef4b8b4585/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

being part of the community
a) talk to your readers
b) get out to events
c) find out what your current readers respond to and do more of that (not the same subject, but the same kind of story)
![Page 27: Saving media: The UC Berkeley Media Technolgy Summit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5440de89b1af9fef4b8b4585/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. learn from feedback (the data is there!)

“the most– e-mailed and most-blogged stories in the paper, as well as the most-used search terms...(is) a rough gauge of reader behavior, to be sure, but as it turns out, a fairly consistent one.”
Michael Hirschorn, "The Pleasure Principle" The Atlantic Monthly Dec 07http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200712/newspaper

bloggers won their audiences by figuring out what is relevant to their readers and then producing more of it...there are no barriers - customer call in centers or walls - between a blogger and his/her audience so the learning is faster and more agile.

it’s not about you, the awards, how awesome you are, your page views, etc...it’s about...

“I came to London, and I've seen performance by Cirque du Soleil. And I had a revelation. I thought, "These guys took some creepy, run down entertainment, and put it to the highest possible level of performance art." I thought "Oh my God, maybe I can do the same with these boring newspapers." And I did.”

Utko’s Redesign Process
1. Strategy: what is our goal?
2. Content: which content serves the readers better?
3. Design: does the design flow with the content & strategy? what’s the reader experience?
4. Testing: how do readers use this? react? is it meeting the reader’s needs?
5. Workflow: how can the organization, itself, change to produce better products?
6. Branding: how can we tie this together across platforms?
7. Execution: how can we ensure continuous quality?

Nate Silver - fivethirtyeight
“The uncanny, poll-wrangling, stats-freaking Nate Silver took it upon himself to demonstrate that some level of governable, rational reality could be brought to bear on the confusing world of competing tracking polls, and along the way all but cemented the geek-chic trajectory of this election season.”http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/24/2008-the-year-in-media-hi_n_153362.html

if you can succeed in making your readers feel smarter, more in control, sexier, excited and more interesting themselves, you will win.

engagement is about creating a deeper level of interaction between yourself and your readers as well as between your readers and other readers.

at the end of the day, it is the blending of social media and traditional media that will produce the future of media...this is not an ‘or’ situation, it’s an ‘and’ situation...

the big question is...even with all of this...

people don’t like paying for digital stuff
“Economically, the print media are in the business of marking up paper. We can all imagine an old-style editor getting a scoop and saying "this will sell a lot of papers!" Cross out that final S and you're describing their business model.”

advertising models are mostly flawed
Sales teams are expensive, there is the issueof the balance of being objective whilemaking advertisers happy (multiple conflictswith this)...

non-profit models? hyperlocal? niche markets?
maybe? feels like these models would work forsome, but not for all. great examples emergingthat can test this out.

“Our community has 25,000 members. 1% produces content and a 1,000 are very active. Among the active, you have what we call "guests". They are bloggers and columnists that are paid on a revenue sharing basis. Amateurs send 400 to 500 contributions and write 6,000 comments a day.”Benoît Raphaël, Editor & Chief, Le Postinterview at: http://mediacafe.blogspot.com/2009/02/le-post-successful-and-innovative-news.html

the answer doesn’t lie in social media itself, but rather what we our customers and their needs as the adoption of social networks increases...
