This is only a blog but I do try to check some facts.
There are losses for the Guardian and I know there are job losses. But my general point is that readers who could also contribute would do more if there was more open information. So far this year there has been the closing of Technology in print and a "slimmed down" Observer. There was an announcement that Simon Caulkin was dropped. Jeff Jarvis just seems to have gone away.
There is still almost no detail on citizen journalism. Both reports i know of were in the Tech pages. OhmyNews has some problems and is changing the business model to seek subscription support. But I think the value of interactivity has to be a part of a new approach.
The print Guardian has done almost no explanation on the closure of local TV in Manchester.
So if anyone has any info on when or if Jeff Jarvis will appear in print, please add a comment.
I realise he contributes to a podcast but I am still concerned with the print product I subscribe to.
Meanwhile Buzzmachine continues. Spheres of discovery shows human links as part of the scene.

And how is money made? We don’t know that yet, either, of course.

They did reduce space but my disappearance was my fault, a mix of disorganization, overwork, and illness. i'm back Monday.
