Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 28, 2009 — Most Americans are putting their faith in small business owners, entrepreneurs and science and technology leaders to lead the U.S. to a better future – and they are significantly less hopeful the news media, government or large corporations will do the same, a new We Media/Zogby Interactive poll shows.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans (63%) said small business and entrepreneurs will lead the U.S. to a better future, while 52% said the same of science and technology leaders. Americans are far less optimistic about the leadership of government (31%), large corporations and business leaders (21%), or traditional news media such as newspapers, television, radio, and magazines (13%).

Americans think leadership toward a better future is more likely to come from family and friends (38%), non-profit groups (32%), or even themselves (36%). The Zogby Interactive survey of 2,397 adults nationwide was conducted Feb. 11-13, 2009, and carries a margin of error of +/- 2.0 percentage points. The survey results will be featured at this week's fifth-annual We Media Conference in Miami (http://www.wemedia.com/miami), hosted by the University of Miami School of Communication and organized and produced by iFOCOS (http://www.ifocos.org), a Reston, Va.-based media think tank. This is the third year of the survey.

"Americans are deeply dissatisfied with traditional media's leadership today – and they also don't expect much in the future," said Andrew Nachison, founder of the media think tank iFOCOS, which organizes the We Media conference, awards, community and web site. "I'm not sure what's worse – the dissatisfaction with the current performance, or the low expectations for the future."

Dissatisfaction with the news media, corporations, and government runs deep

Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the leadership currently provided by large companies, government and traditional media – and they are not confident the leadership from these groups will improve in the future. The survey shows 71% are "not very" or "not at all" satisfied with the leadership provided by traditional news media. Even greater numbers of Americans are unsatisfied with the leadership of the government (74%) and large corporations and business leaders (81%).

While just one in four (27%) Americans are satisfied with the leadership provided by traditional news media, Internet media – including blogs and social networks – fared far better, with 56% satisfied with online media leadership. Fewer than a third of Americans (32%) believe online media will provide leadership in the future, but they are much more confident in the potential of Internet media to guide the U.S. in a better direction than they are in traditional news media (13%).

"The public's sense of who will lead in the future is, sad to say, a painful reflection of the place that newspapers and other traditional media hold in American culture. Most Americans don't think they provide much leadership now, nor will they lead us to a better future. They look to science, technology and entrepreneurs for that leadership," said Nachison.

"This raises an old question that takes on new meaning as the world's economy reorganizes around diminished returns: what's the purpose of a news enterprise? Is it simply to produce, package and distribute data? Or is it more? Is there a purpose to the endeavor?

"We think there is, and we look to publishers and journalists to lead us to a better future. However they are configured, news enterprises must lead. And to lead they must change. That's a call to action to improve performance and to raise the bar on expectations."

Americans most likely to look online for breaking and daily news

Nearly half of Americans (46%) said they first turn to Internet news sites for information on breaking news about national and government issues and nearly as many (40%) said online news sites are where they get most of their news and information. These online sites far outpace traditional news sources, such as television (25%), radio (14%), and newspapers (12%), as a source of daily news and information. It comes as no surprise that younger Americans are most likely to favor online news sources, but only those age 65 and older are more likely to turn to television (36%) over the Internet (29%) to get their news.

Methodology: Zogby International was commissioned by iFOCOS to conduct an online survey of 2497 adults. A sampling of Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the US, was invited to participate. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender, education to more accurately reflect the population. The margin of error is +/- 2.0 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.

London, England (PRWEB) February 3, 2009 — Outgoing U.S. Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell gave some valuable parting advice to the United States' 16 intelligence agencies, and that same advice works just as well for business owners seeking to raise their visibility and carve more revenue out of a highly-competitive and down market.

According to McConnell's Intelligence Community Directive 501, intelligence officers "have a responsibility to discover information believed to have the potential to contribute to their assigned mission need," and Small Business Resource Ltd. CEO David Davis of SBRSS.com is in total agreement.

Mr. Davis operates a news aggregation portal that's a one-stop solution for business people seeking the latest "how to" information or techniques being shared by top entrepreneurs and popular web sites as well as news stories gleaned from around the world on a nearly limitless variety of topics.

"The portal provides all the tools anyone needs to stay informed as well as put the information to work by creating articles, white papers and valuable reports based upon actionable information that is up-to-the-minute," according to Mr. Davis. And in fact, he does exactly that for his other businesses and earns revenues from rewriting and repackaging what amounts to an endless flow of top-quality content.

The site uses the latest RSS Internet technology to acquire relevant feeds from a wide variety of sites and news distribution sources. Users can select the feeds they want to follow. But unlike most other news aggregators, SBRSS.com provides users with a way to suggest additional feeds as well as providing a robust search engine to pull highly-targeted information together based upon the user's exact requirements. The site also offers a search engine that specially configured to return links to video files related to the user's search terms.

According to Mr. John Yemma, Editor of the 100 year-old 7 Pulitzer-prize-winning Christian Science Monitor newspaper, "We will be dropping our printed publication in favor of a web-based only edition." Mr. Yemma said that the current news delivery model is "fundamentally broken." The paper will be relying heavily on RSS or Real Simple Syndication.

Mr. Davis believes that RSS technology is under utilized. It's not only about blogs and news delivery, it's also about monetization and brand promotion. And he's not alone:

"At Small Business Resource we don't talk about web 2.0 or 3.0 for that matter. What really matter to small businesses is getting access to valuable information so they can make value added decisions. RSS makes this possible"

"If you do a marketing site and you don't have an RSS feed today you should be fired."

Washington, DC (Vocus) March 23, 2009 — The Washington Times (www.washingtontimes.com) and Talk Radio Network are partnering to create a nationally syndicated, morning-drive radio show with an innovative new format aimed at showcasing investigative reporting, accountability journalism and live reporting directly from The Times' newsroom inside the nation's capital. The Washington Times Morning Show is set to launch later this spring.

Mark Masters, the CEO of Talk Radio Network, noted that Talk Radio Network has developed more top talk radio shows than any other company, and is looking forward to the opportunity to partner with The Washington Times in developing this unique new program.

"The Washington Times has made a very strong commitment to investigative reporting, building a journalistic team, headed by former "Post" honcho John Solomon, that will be second to none. We believe this unique journalistic team, combined with radio's ability to give the time and context needed to flesh out breaking stories, will make for a powerful winning combination in talk radio."

Masters continued, "Rather than commenting on yesterday's news, this news show will have the capacity to make, break, and drive the news cycle. Like 60 Minutes once did for TV, this show can do for radio. We are very excited and honored to embark in this partnership with The Washington Times investigative team."

Phil Boyce, the President of Programming for Talk Radio Network, said, "TRN is excited to partner with The Washington Times in this brave new venture. This show will be fast-paced and compelling with great story telling by the reporters breaking the stories. Morning radio in America will have a new player heavy on information and riveting content."

Washington Times Publisher Thomas P. McDevitt said the partnership helps continue the newspaper's rapid transformation into a multimedia, multi-platform news company that delivers content on a wide variety of digital platforms worldwide.

"Our distinctive news reporting is reaching millions of new consumers across this country and we are pleased to be partnering with Mark and one of the best news talk radio companies in the world to help spread our enterprising journalism to the radio format," McDevitt said. "In a time of large economic and national security challenges, Americans will be able to get distinctive, authoritative news from one of America's most influential newspapers delivered through an innovative radio show produced by the best in the business."

The Washington Times, launched in 1982, has one of the fastest growing news Web sites in the country and over the last year has produced scores of high-impact investigative exposes, ranging from ethical conflicts involving administration nominees and members of Congress to the mistreatment of veterans in a VA medical experiment.

John Solomon, executive editor of the Times, said the newspaper has a large number of reporters and editors working on investigative and enterprise reporting projects on any given day and plans to break stories, launch investigative projects and conduct exclusive, in-depth interviews on the new show.

"Accountability journalism is one of the hallmarks of The Washington Times and the very reporters and editors on the front lines of Washington's biggest stories will now be able to share their scoops, insights and inside stories with radio listeners every morning in what promises to be a ground-breaking new genre of news radio," Solomon said.
