Another way to look at the recent Cablevision - Newsday "merger" and its effect on the diversity of content, advertising rates and a whole host of other issues, is as an opportunity to create a new business model for the delivery of media services on Long Island.
As we've stated many times previously, there are a ton of smart folks on Long Island with great ideas and relevant, informed opinions.
It's really a shame to waste the intelligence and ingenuity of our own citizens and counterproductive to the future health of Long Island not to put these folks "to work."
How about "Get the Whole Story at the Long Island Independent Media Consortium"?
There are also many fine organizations on Long Island.
There are many fine local publications, websites and blogs on Long Island.
There is plenty of capital on Long Island.
So what's missing?
Collaboration among and between autonomous bodies. Once folks get the idea that we can collaborate without losing our individual, organizational or corporate "identity" or "brand" the power of such a collaborative movement will be self-evident.
More in Part Two.
