I is a smart graduate student

Sorry for the shameless self promotion but I'm just stoked for reading the following blog post on Poynter:

----------------------------
"Zorn suggest news orgs adopt the cable TV model"
Chicago Tribune | Blog Maverick

Columnist Eric Zorn says news organizations that generate significant original content should band together and and sell group subscription packages for unlimited access to their stories, photos, videos, archives and other offerings. "For, say, $10 a month, a subscriber would have a choice of, say, 50 participating local, regional and national newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations. Another $5 might buy an additional 50 outlets, and so on." || Mark Cuban: How cable and satellite can save the newspaper business.
---------------------------

Who suggested that in class last week? ME, baby, ME.

And check out the title of the actual article that the blog references...

Rescuing print journalism: Does Cable TV have the right idea?

It's a rhetorical question in the title! Whoohoo!

Ok shut up, Billy. Whaddya want, a f***ing parade?
