THE END OF GATEKEEPING:
The hour glass and the cylinder
(On side)

Assertions
Consumer/creators same level
Result: Content abundance
![Page 7: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Information Age to Attention Age
The Post-Scarcity The Post-Scarcity Economy* -- Economy* --
Information is abundant.Information is abundant.But . . . attention isn’t.But . . . attention isn’t.
Biggest democracy challenge?
Assertions

RESULT: Media moves from Gatekeeper to InfoValet
![Page 9: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Attention Age results • Mass market ads, journalism unglued
• Advertising is old – now “advisor-tising”
• Aggregation, content atomization
• Consumers in charge (copyright?)
• They go anywhere for information
• Social networks success / end of silos

The choices we make about data
![Page 11: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Likely resulting trends
• Privacy now front-burner issue (NSA, National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace)
• Privacy emerges as regulatory issue • Publisher / gatekeeper as one-to-many fading• News orgs need to be at core of social stream
• OPPORTUNITY: Big data custodian
• Identity, trust new building blocks
Landscape

Newspaper small engagement

The surmountable challenge?
• News as a leisure-time activity – Google’s Varian
• Research: The surge in tablet use
![Page 14: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
From paper to persona • Publishing, broadcasting anachronistic
• Now automated, customized, one-to-one
• Must share payments for content, custom info, sponsorships
• Advisor, agent, concierge, “valet”?
Assertion
![Page 15: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But who are identity valets now? • Facebook
• Google and Google+
• Amazon
• Apple Store
• Yahoo?
• Telcoms?
Identity
![Page 16: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Digital ad revenue elsewhere

Today’s “identity” ecosystem
Source: http://www.slideshare.net/tkawaja/luma-display-ad-tech-landscape-2010-1231
‘THE DAY’ VS. THIS – VRM vs. CRM?
![Page 19: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Participation: End of advertising? • Is advertising now one-to-one advertising?
• Vendor-delivered direct: Publisher bylass?
• Who controls your privacy, persona?
• What is your attention worth? To whom?
• NEEDED: Replace strategy for mass-market ads
Assertions
![Page 20: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rachel Davis MerseyMedill / Northwestern:
• Abandon mass-market approach• Meet individual info needs• By identified user • “Identity-based” journalism • Trust in personalization, accept “vegetables”
Needed: A new approach
![Page 21: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The new approach • Algorithms and curators working together• Expanding the concept of news • Offering you a “news personality” • Focus on experience • Creating conversations, community, networks
![Page 22: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
From overload to curation, identity PUBLIC SECTOR
• NSA has the same problem
• Government seeks identity
PRIVATE
• Netflix – suggests movies
• Amazon products
• Pandora – suggests music
• Who is suggesting news?
![Page 23: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“So why can’t I have a portable stream of news that I can take with me everywhere? Why can’t it take into
account my preferences, my location, the veggies so to speak of news that I should know? I call this the hyper-
personalized news stream. What form it takes is unclear.”
-- Marissa Mayer, Google (now Yahoo), Dec.2009. . . in congressional testimony
But what do users really want?
![Page 24: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The next newsroom • Curation and algorithms
• A personal-service organization
• Still finding, sharing, trustworthy info
• But to a market of one; no longer mass
• Personalized interest matching
• A surmountable challenge
![Page 25: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The missing link the Internet lacks• Trust and identity
• Missing when web went commercial
• Multiple logins/passwords a big hassle
• A “fast pass for news / information
• One account, universal identity control
• But not controlled by one company, or government
![Page 26: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Making the market for digital info• One account at a home base (newspaper?)
• Build a “news personality”
• Enable one-ID, one-bill access
• Build info garden from atomized bits
• One subscription works many places
• Who can create?
![Page 27: From Paper to Persona: Rethinking newsrooms as personal services organizations; Interest Matching August 26, 2013 Bill Densmore, consulting fellow Donald.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2c1f8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Information Trust Association
"A non-profit collaboration to share technology, users and content could help news organizations find new revenues and become better at serving the public, according to a report from the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute.”

A long-term solution? • Non-profit, diverse board• Privacy, trust, identity standards • Test technologies, sanction protocols • Enable web-wide microaccounting• No single registrar or user owner • But what about RIGHT NOW!

• Leap Media / “The Day” approach
• “The Day” as Information Valet
• Local control, long-term relationship, service based
• User-focused customer relationship management
• Replace hundreds of unseen, unaccountable databases
• Build comprehensive “news personality”
The necessary first step
