“Owning news makes you important; it gives you a seat at the table. The number one way of becoming powerful in Washington is by becoming the Washington Post.”
Parola del sergente di ferro, alias Tina Brown ex direttore di Vanity Fair, New Yorker e Newsweek che ieri ha preso parte al THiNK Festival di Goa, in India.
Ma l’intervento di Tina Brown, offre ulteriori e interessanti spunti di riflessione:
NESSUN PROFITTO DAL DIGITALE
“The digital explosion has been so explosive there isn’t a single place where the digital thing is a profit thing. The disruption hasn’t brought a business model.”
NON LEGGIAMO PIU’, PARLIAMO
“The [magazine-reading] habit has gone. I think you can have more satisfaction from live conversations. [We are] going back to oral culture where the written word will be less relevant.”
LA TV E’ MORTA
“TV is dead and now they are chasing a demographic they are never going to find. We’ve reached a moment [where people realize], ‘My god the television is an ugly piece of furniture.’”
