Why Is Old Media Being Perverse ?

I was going to use the term 'lemmings' but the United Order of Lemmings have written to me and asked me to stop giving them a bad name. How did ITV get Friends Reunited and ITV Local so wrong ? And where did NewsCorp managed to get MySpace from 100m to 5m users - and why are they now seeming to do the same with The Times online sites? Yet, with video they have leveraged this positions well and become dominant in the provision of online video in the US and the UK. In the US no major TV company has tried to stray beyond what they do, and at the same time they've come up with concepts such as Hulu .

Traditional media has great sales capabilities, good production discipline, but the content is what counts. Great video content is much more difficult to produce than a great article. Volume of video content is even more difficult. For example, by my experience, a

The Last Post

So this is it. After two decades I am closing down IPTV Times. The last post was Murder on 5th: the last breath of democracy in the US. It will fade in the rear view mirror.

Too much governance is self serving drivel with its feet firmly in two thousand year old ‘civilisations’. Our rulers all learn about the Greeks and the Romans and the Victorians in their public school and then at Oxford and emulate this dogma. The behaviour at PMQs, for instance, is a stain on our democracy. So, why not start with a clean sheet of paper by asking what government should deliver to its citizens ? What is it here for ? For me, to be secure, happy and successful are the key objectives (clearly, I think you need to be healthy to enjoy any of the above). So let’s have a Ministry for each, with Departments for more traditional functions, albeit chopped up and, sometimes, in conflict. No major corporation operates the kind of hierarchy the UK Government does. They have virtual teams, cross departm
