The Guardian gets it

⚠️ This post is more than five years old. Links may rot, opinions may change, and context might be missing. Proceed with cautious optimism.

I’m passing along, thanks to Jeff Jarvis, this speech (mp3) by Alan Rusbridger, editor of The Guardian newspaper in England.

It’s about the future present of newspapers in the Internet age, or the blog years, or the time-of-the-great-podding, or the “it’s Craig’s fault” days. Whatever you want to call it, it’s worth a listen or two.

Extensive commentary and notes of and on the speech can be found here and here, if you’re not in a listening mood.
