News industry strategists in Missouri eye e-reader consortium?
Bill Densmore
The RJI's Digital Publishing Alliance, headed by eReader/iPad researcher
Roger Fidler, wraps up its spring symposium this morning at the Missouri
School of Journalism and there's talk of forming a consortium which would
allow news organizations to recommend tablet-device standards to
manufacturers and tecnology companies. Chief concern expressed in
yesterday's day-long discussions -- what level of control will publishers
have over the user relationship and the pricing and packaging of news
content in the tablet world?
You can follow this morning's discussion, and offer suggestions questions
at the bottom of the CoverItLive narrative:
Or just send questions to wpden...@gmail.com or tweet with a hashtag of
#dpa10 (which we'll be monitoring).
