Preface
Change is the only constant. And while change in the media in general and the news media in particular has been occurring at a record speed, this book offers practical solutions on how to cope with and adapt to the evolving media landscape.
The philosophy and theories behind “Managing Today’s News Media: Audience First” have a foundation in the works of two great Greek philosophers, Parmenides and Heraclitus.
Parmenides is the pre-Platonic Greek philosopher who theorized about permanence as reality; what is permanent, what lasts and what is stable is real. In other words, what you cannot destroy is what is real and true.
Heraclitus, on the other hand, was the theorist of change. He’s the one famous for saying, “You cannot step in the same river twice,” because the water keeps on flowing and changing. For him, constant change was the one reality. The only permanent thing in the universe, according to Heraclitus, is change.
So, how can we then create a systematic way of managing news organizations in a world of ever-changing audiences and news and information platforms? This book proposes a strategy; the “4 C’s Strategy” is based on the premise that the focus of media managers today should be on the audience and not the platforms themselves. In Chapter 1 and throughout the text, we describe in great detail how customers, control, choice and change are all part of a strategy for successful media organizations.
Where We Are GoingBetween the three of us, we have been teaching and training media managers for decades. We’ve also worked as consultants or media managers ourselves for some of the top news organizations in the country.
This textbook will help prepare managers for jobs in today’s media organizations, but we also cover the essential topics for any journalist who needs to understand the business of media. It is our belief that one of the great failures of journalism and mass communication education is that programs have neglected to expose students to the basic business principles that drive the success or failure of the organizations for which they work.
Throughout the book, we discuss how the audience-first approach to managing a news company changes the thinking about and execution of newsgathering and the news distribution process. We deal with subjects such as fostering innovation within an organization and the impact of the more interactive relationship news organizations now have with their audiences. Business models and new sources of revenue are discussed, along with an exploration of where multimedia journalism may be headed and how those who want to lead news media companies can prepare themselves for jobs and careers, now and in the future.
How We Get ThereWe’ve structured the book in such a way that you can read individual chapters in whatever order seems most useful to you. Our goal is to provide a straightforward guide to what you need to know to work as a news manager today. All major forms of media are presented in their own individual chapters with an introductory chapter fully explaining the basis of our 4 C’s Strategy.
In addition, in each chapter you will find real-world examples of business successes and failures, in-depth interviews and advice from industry leaders, and unique elements you won’t find in other media management textbooks. We take on the topics of branding, business models and audience power as well.
Each chapter includes two innovative features: “Leadership Reports” and “Think and Do” exercises. The “Leadership Reports” involve interviews with CEOs, publishers, editors, producers, owners and media agency professionals in order to present a “reality check” on how the 4 C’s Strategy can be put into practice.
And while it’s one thing to read about how to do something, it’s another to actually do it. The “Think and Do” sections provide exercises that will test what you’ve learned and your ability to execute the techniques discussed in each chapter.
For those in the classroom, this book is intended to be a tool of preparation for the world of news media. For the news manager, this book is intended to be a tool to enhance and enrich the work environment as many professionals seek solutions to the challenges facing the industry, rather than just updates on the latest technological changes.
This book is about the profession we love and how we manage the integration of media and technology in order to serve our customers better. It is not a theory book, although it is based on a theory. Our goal for “Managing Today’s News Media: Audience First” is to present a practical handbook for every person interested in acquiring a better set of skills when it comes to managing media organizations.
Acknowledgments
There are many good books out there dealing with media, management of media, news media and other topics relevant to the subject. This one, however, simply put, is different. It is a hybrid if you will. “Managing Today’s News Media: Audience First” is not an academic book and not a professional book; it is both.
That could not have happened, however, without the generous contributions from media organization leaders who took the time to talk with us, to teach us, and to share what they know about the ever-changing media landscape and how to manage and survive in such a world. Our goal is that you use this foundation to grow and prosper in your media world regardless of the platform.
We also want to thank family, friends, colleagues, students, reviewers, and editors who believed in the project and worked with us to make this a better book.
It’s also important to thank you – our audience. We need your feedback on our first edition of this book so we can enhance and enrich subsequent editions of the text. Feel free to reach out and offer advice. Thank you.
