Thanks for the comments about the web not being the same as broadcast. You're right -- it seems so obvious, yet we take it for granted. As a technologist, but not a broadcaster, I've been going on the assumption that broadcast people intrinsically can see the difference. But they don't. The focus on social media at IMA this year helped illustrate just how different the web is. Old-line broadcasters need to dig in and figure this web medium out, first as users, then as experimenters and designers and implementers. We need to change our missions -- right down to mission statements and maybe even our nonprofit bylaws. Then the serious on-the-ground changes must begin. Separately, I just wanted to add that for all the good things at IMA this year (and there were a lot of them), it seems that a piece of this puzzle has been missed. My own concerns now center on what must happen at the small-market and mid-market stations out there (like mine). From where I sit, it appears our smaller public radio and TV players are entering a period of sustained decline in terms of relevancy and service impact for the communities they serve. In turn, the revenue is declining as well. I suspect a wave of collapses and consolidations and partnerships is coming. Todd… Thanks for the comments about the web not being the same as broadcast.
