E&P interviews ChatGPT: How AI responds to tough questions about its impact on journalism’s future

In a unique interview, E&P Publisher Mike Blinder sat down with Version 1.2024.240 of ChatGPT, enhanced by Siri Voice 4, to explore the intersection of AI and journalism.

The sales pro’s pommel horse

The best salespeople have innate talents. They have figured out what brings them to the playing field and what their blind spots are. There are some things at which they don’t excel as well as others, but they don't let this deter them. Instead, they zero in on their areas of excellence so they can perform at high levels.

Digital news dailies: Combining print familiarity with digital efficiency

As local media grapples with the challenges of digital transformation, there may be an overlooked opportunity that bridges the gap between traditional print and modern technology: digital news dailies. These innovative products merge the familiarity of print-style newspapers with the convenience of digital distribution, delivered as PDFs or e-editions designed for easy reading on tablets or simple printouts. By maintaining traditional ad rates and subscription models without the costs of physical printing and distribution, digital news dailies offer a sustainable solution for publishers seeking new revenue streams.

From de-Bundling to re-Bundling: KQED and DML’s vision for digital media collaboration

In the good old days, news products were bundled. Bundled products were how distributors could deliver most things to most people. If there’s one thing digital technology is good at, though, it’s destroying distribution monopolies ... and those distribution oligopolies on which our media businesses were built were blown to smithereens. But like any trend, de-bundling has probably gone too far. Maybe there’s a chance to rebuild some of the bundles of the past.
