Mathew's comments: Om and Rafat are the future of news

  • Matthew James Didier · 3 years ago
    Not much time to post today — in the middle of moving, which is not an easy thing with three daughters, two of whom are teenagers

    Egads! My sincerest sympathies! Good luck with the move (from step-father of two teens)!

    ...I would argue that any media organization with brains should be paying close attention to what Om and particularly Rafat and his team are doing — it may sound apocalyptic, but PaidContent is the future of journalism in many ways.

    ...but would you say it would do away with the larger amount of "staff writers" and or regular contributors at most media outlets?

    Thanks for your sympathies, Matthew -- I'm not sure new media means fewer staff writers, but definitely more flexibility.
