I’ll have to think back to last week and see if I remember anything about that.

All kidding aside, maybe what we need one of these days is a dedicated two hour vent fest where everyone can throw out all their anger and frustration. Who knows? Maybe it would be therapeutic or even spawn some good ideas.

Jason: Sounds like my kind of thing. I liked your idea earlier today about “widgeted” content. I’d like to be in a forum where ideas like that can be posed to a guy like Boardman.

I think that maybe “event 2″ as it is currently code-named will be more up your alley – at the moment is shaping up to be a panel about the business models that can work.

I’ll probably focus on the anger, which seemed to surprise many but shouldn’t. This is a painful process and it takes time. Print media folks did what asked of them for years and now they’re being told that that isn’t good enough anymore. They’re wondering what they did wrong and they’re angry. Some of that anger is about jobs lost, of course, but much of it is about the end of careers that these people loved dearly, were incredibly passionate about, and that they are very sad to lose.

You’re right: There are going to be lots fewer journalists for a while. That’s the reality and we need to face it.

I hope the next NNBN meeting, which will focus on new directions, will be more constructive.

Ain’t change grand? :)
