The legacy publishing houses are carrying the weight of physical distribution chains, editorial bureaucracy, print deadlines and geographic coverage constraints. The fixed costs of the old business model have left them in an uncompetitive position as prices for information seem to be racing to the bottom; the zero price floor! The future of news is about being lightweight corporately and heavyweight on individual choices and community involvement.
nwzPaper represents what the future of news will embrace:
- An information distributor that is neutral on the content message.
- A platform that empowers the journalist to decide what to write, when to publish and makes the journalist subject only to the market forces of his or her subscribers.
- A subscriber experience that offers everything in a familiar format, in one place and leaves the choices of who and what to read up to you.
I don't expect building this community to be easy, but I am confident that what we have built is a platform that meets the needs of contemporary information consumers and journalists alike. We will continue building nwzPaper for the journalist and his subscribers, so make sure to share your feedback with us!
