Chip joined the Media Bullseye Radio Roundtable to discuss whether online content “wants” to be free, the difference between amateur and amateurish online content, and Burger King’s current campaign to get people to “de-friend” people on Facebook.
A clear and present danger exists to the advances brought on in recent years through the development of social media. The coarsening conversation apparent throughout the online media environment threatens to stall or even reverse important recent advances.
You know I’m a big believer that online pairs nicely with print. You won’t hear me saying that books, newspapers, magazines, and the like are dead. In fact, my own Eaglon publishes online and offline in tandem for Media Bullseye and Cork & Knife. That’s why I was not surprised, but definitely pleased, to see…
If you think the media is slow to understand the dramatic changes taking place in their own industry, you may not be surprised to know that Congress is even more in the dark.

He dubs it "link journalism" and recently touted the efforts of one of his company’s clients,…
If you read this blog, you know that I am fascinated by media and disruption. So it was natural that Eaglon‘s next publication should be focused on just that intersection and named Media Disruption. There’s already a bunch of good stuff up there (in my humble opinion), including an in-depth profile of Rafat Ali’s ContentNext…
I came across some interesting data while doing some research tonight, and I thought I’d share it in raw form before I have a chance to tie it together with some thoughts I have. What follows are the 10 most trafficked online news sites that create original content, according to data from Alexa. We can…
Doug Haslam of Topaz Partners was kind enough to grant an interview to Sarah Wurrey of CustomScoop’s Media Bullseye during the recent SNCR symposium in Boston.
