Milwaukee love from London and Dallas media
It's always nice to see Milwaukee featured in other publications. Most recently, London's Daily Mirror, the Dallas Morning News and Home & Away magazine had nice things to say about our city.

Thanks for an excellent 11 years of OnMilwaukee.com
Long-time readers know by now that I pen a short column every Sept. 1 celebrating the official anniversary of the launching of OnMilwaukee.com in 1998. But this year is a little bit different -- I've never experienced anything as a business owner like I have in the last 12 months.

"Today's" paper gets the score wrong, and a funny look at the Times
Another indication of the demise of print comes from today's print edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The paper, in a headline, gets last night's Brewers score wrong. The Brewers, of course, won 4-3, not 3-2. JSOnline, for the record, got it correct.

Sprinting ahead of the Recovery
Working for an independent media company in a down economy has its advantages. We don't have layers of bureaucracy weighing us down. We aren't the profitable arm of a company with its lifeblood being sucked out by the elderly, non-profitable wing of the company. When we see something coming down the pike we react to it, even if we couldn't plan for it. We are nimble and make our own decisions quickly.

The newspaper death march is on
I'm not alone proclaiming that newspapers are dead, so I realize that I'm not breaking any news here. I do think they will eventually die off -- maybe in 20-30 years from now. Marketing guru Seth Godin wholeheartedly agrees.

As we move further into the digital age, readers and the media enjoy the limitless content and convenience of online news, but does that mean that printed papers will soon meet their demise?

Help! I've lost sensitivity!
This techno-beast is growing and evolving and you, gentle reader, are following suit. It's the Wild West inside this little box -- or for me, it might as well be downtown Chicago in the early ‘90s.

Help us report the news
Up until the Web really took off, news was still a one-way transfer of information -- "professional" journalists and editors told you what was important, and you chose to believe it or not. Then this little thing called the blog came along.
