This is from a newspaper editors’ listserv to which I unfortunately subscribe. No wonder our industry is circling the drain.

I’m trying to quickly gather whatever research already exists about what our audience (readers of print, online, and niche products) want, both in terms of content and platform.  Please point me to whatever you know of; if you can send me summary attachments, that would be even better.

Thank you.

I think a real problem with communications and knowledge workers these days is that they have forgotten that not all information is extant and that some will need to be actually teased out through hard work and the asking of questions.

We have become so used someone else having the answers that it seems we’ve forgotten that answering some of those questions is our job.
