I hope that’s the case. I’m not anti-Mainstream Media. We need more truly interactive, conversational media whether it comes from individual bloggers or large corporations.

Lance-
I recently joined Fox Interactive Media after a nearly three-year stint at ESPN.com. The reason I joined is because the powers that be at FIM understand how media consumption is changing, and how we must build products that cater to an audience that want to consume its content where it wants it, when it wants it. I didn’t want to spend any more time selling the idea that the way of the future was in conversations and disaggregated content, not walled gardens and traditional portals.

Please keep an eye on FIM. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

A couple of days ago the lead story was “Citigroup eyes Latin banks” or somesuch, based — as far as I could tell — on absolutely nothing. But the FT had managed to land an interview with Chuck Prince, and so they put Citi on the front page, despite the fact that Prince had told them nothing whatsoever. From reading the story, it’s far from obvious that the word “Latin” even passed his lips. Similarly in this case it seems that the reporter managed to get a couple of quotes out of Rupert Murdoch, and any interview with KRM automatically gets front-page treatment.
