mailboxes but look what is
happening to your Inbox (or
spam collector) where your
emails await.
A university study last
year reported that the in-
formation we get online
from the likes of Wikipedia
stays with us fractionally as
well as the information we
look up in an old fashioned
encyclopedia.
Those university re-
searchers reason that if the
information is readily avail-
able our brains will refuse
to retain the information.
As far as emails go, well,
there are just too many of
them so our minds tend to
glean or speed-read them,
which means we are drown-
ing in electronic communi-
cation.
Most editors, reporters
and newspaper readers
want all the information
in this newspaper placed
online where it will be more
readily accessible.
And I say "no."
"Don't you want to get
Lhe story out there first and
and beat your competitors
to the punch?" Web design-
ers ask me frantically.
But that's not the busi-
ness I'm in and it never has
been. Radio and television
used to be the media of im-
mediacy. So now it is the
internet. It has never been
newspapers. If the news
can't wait a week then we'll
put out an old-fashioned
"Extra" where you can read
all about it.
It has always been my
preference to take the ex-
tra time to check with as
many sources as possible
before going to press, to get
it right is better than to get
it first.
And readers used to
appreciate the method so
much that they'd leave this
newspaper around for a
week.
The information, not so
readily available nor so
readily retrievable, makes
a greater impact on your
brain.
That's good for our
advertisers too, which is
another reason I shy away
from putting our paper on
the internet.
Most people, inside and
outside the newspaper
industry, lay collapsing
advertising revenue at the
feet of Google and I have to
agree with them.
But it is only because the
newspaper industry has
placed its content on the
internet where, pay wall
or no pay wall, advertising
doesn't work.
More precisely it doesn't
work well and this industry
has long-relied on advertis-
ing to pay its bills.
A recent book, The Daily
You, echoes (for me at least)
the limitations of data
mining and the barrage of
advertising you are being
thrown via the interuet.
Some of it works, to be
sure, but I believe that it
works best the way a tele-
phone book used to work
(before they became too
prolific) or the way point-of-
purchase advertising works
(eg. "other people who
bought this item were also
interested in...").
Most young people don't
agree with me and maybe
they're right, maybe I am a
dinosaur.
But print media has
always been the most effec-
tive way to get a message
across because of its perma-
nence and its credibility.
And those things barely
exist in the world of elec-
tronic media and they are
suffocating as the informa-
tion (most of it bad) contin-
ues to expand in geometric
proportion.
As Google gets ever
closer to their namesake, as
you receive the last number
before infinity in electronic
information, that informa-
tion and the carrier of it
will be rendered infinitely
useless.
