A theme we’ve touched on before. It’s not about stopping bad behavior or even embracing good behavior. It’s about investing in an architecture that promotes growth for an entire ecosystem. If you do it right, you will watch network effects take hold naturally. And then everyone wins. [...] [...] Interesting think piece from Matt McAlister on media as a platform.

It’s hard for lifelong newsroom types to see layoffs one day and reader participation initiatives the next and not feel a bit slighted. But we’re not just talking about event calendars and little league reports here, although I love ‘em, we’re talking about your newspaper as the platform for local information and interaction.

He says that in his view it isn’t really about “openness” or “walled gardens” and other popular metaphors: It’s not about stopping bad behavior or even embracing good behavior. It’s about investing in an architecture that promotes growth for an entire ecosystem. If you do it right, you will watch network effects take hold naturally. And then everyone wins.

And ad-supported media is inexorably corrupt and corrupting. Media cannot serve two masters, and it is inevitably the master who pays the piper that calls the tune. You are right on about relationships, but a mediated relationship is unsatisfactory. The solution is direct relationships -- direct relationships between consumer and producer, as well as direct relationship between consumer and media.
