Throwback Thursday for the week of September 23, 2013

I promise this occasional trip through the way-back machine will become more helpful and interesting once this blog has a little more longevity. Until then, we can still look back on the short history of pieces.

The Race to Innovate in Digital Media was my very first blog post back on August 23rd. It started as my attempt to look at the direction of innovation as the combination of previous media forms with new technological innovations. It ended up being a rudimentary history of media, from the cave wall to the Facebook wall.

All News is Local, also posted on August 23rd, looks at how a national broadcaster (The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC) decided to cover an event in one small, rural county in a big way because it illuminated a national trend.

Setting a New Bar for Journalism (August 26) shows how the business/entrepreneurial lessons of the show "Bar Rescue" might be applied to the media business.

And All Journalists should operate like entrepreneurs (August 29) was my attempt to apply some of the "self-help" lessons offered to the "start-up set" at the SxSw V2V conference in Las Vegas to the journalism community.
