Back at EE Times–What gives?
After three years out of the daily publishing grind, I re-entered the troposphere this week as Products Strategist for EE Times. As my old man used to say, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” (I think he used to say that each year near the end of his one mandatory no-drinking month). I spent the [...]
The Great (Print-Online) Debate (Cage Match Edition)
In one corner, John Donovan, the crafty veteran (he of low-powerdesign.com), sat eyeing his opponent, rubbing his Everlast gloves together in anticipation; in the other, another crafty veteran, John Reardon, Donovan’s ex-boss at RTC Group, glared, as he shuffled his laced-up, ankle-high shoes on the canvas. In between them sat a third veteran, Rick Jamison, [...]
Saint Steven frets about blogger nation
Steve Jobs could belch and get national play. He did so this week at All Things D, where he said he doesn’t want to see us descend into a nation of bloggers. We must do everything in our power to find ways The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, etc. can continue to get [...]
Good Times
It’s been a while, yes. We’re selling our house and moving to San Francisco (more on that in a later post) so the past month has been, to say the least, busy. Then there’s that work thing. At Numetrics, we’ve been working diligently to launch a new software product, and that’s just crazy nuts. Which [...]
Where the editors are
The great editorial diaspora is yielding some interesting stories. While there’s still plenty of pain out there among seasoned reporters and editors who have lost their jobs in the big meltdown, many are finding their way. They’re finding their way into marketing, communications and vendor-as-publisher roles where their editorial sense is keenly valued. My old [...]

Industry events need to get more social
If we think publishing is turmoil, why not take a look at traditional live industry events? I thought of this after spending part of the day today at one of my favorite annual events, Semico’s Summit, this year called the Semico Outlook because they held it for just one day and founder Jim Feldhan and [...]
EDN closes the audience gap with EE Times
Update: Note that the Compete.com data cited in this post and the chart come from 2 million Compete.com users in North America. The numbers are not represented as absolutes of EE Times or EDN actual traffic, which a subscription company like Omniture can provide, but as projections. These numbers are only used to show a [...]
A peek at the new EE Times
Come spring, EE Times will be reborn, and Electronic Buyer’s News will be resurrected. That was the message EE Times Group CEO Paul Miller delivered last week during meetings in Irvine, Calif., and Santa Clara, Calif., as he gave audiences a sneak peek at the new network’s look, feel and value propositions. It’s a bold, [...]
National Enquirer Schools Mainstream Media; Film at 11
In times as weird as these, it’s perhaps not surprising that one publication doing real journalism is — gasp — the National Enquirer. Ok, maybe its former editor in chief, David Perel, is a bit defensive this morning, but his point is well taken. Perel writes about his publication’s tireless efforts to break former presidential [...]
