common credible decline dual editorial establish filter guess kinds locally news point problems produced producer reason requires rest sets solve starts track traffic trust user web yahoo
I don't see any reason why Yahoo could not establish trust and reliability as a common carrier -- that adjustable filter that Yahoo News is now -- and, at the same time, become a credible producer of its own editorial content, ... There are problems to solve in the dual track approach, because its requires two different kinds of user trust. The day when Yahoo starts hesitating to point out to the rest of the Web (because it covets the traffic for locally produced goods) is the day decline sets in. My guess is they know that.

bottles dining fridge job room small stored time
That small fridge in the dining room just isn't doing the job anymore. When there are bottles stored in every room in the house, it's time to think about a better option.
authority avoiding explaining
Authority in an interactive world comes from communicating, not from avoiding communication. Explaining yourself is not navel-gazing. It's a part of democracy.
accept code journalism left paper peers prison returned staff understood violated ways
I don't see any way she could have returned to the paper because she had violated the code of professional journalism in so many ways that I didn't see the staff able to accept her again. I don't think her peers understood why she went to prison in the first place and why she left when she left.

What The Post is doing today is a recognition that the balance of power has shifted to users who can choose the way they receive news . . . that they're not entirely in charge of how people get their news anymore.
