  24. A new news consumer? • "We are venturing boldly, and somewhat blindly, into this world of user-generated content." • Jerry Yang, Yahoo co-founder • Labels: • The “creative consumer” (von Hippel) • The “on demand” media consumer (Arbitron) • The “tech elite” (Pew Internet Project, Nov. ’03 report)

  25. Tech elite & information • Household as a node on the information network • Content is an intermediate input to be: • Mashed-up • Recombined • Redistributed • Content is fluid: • Sometimes it’s free • Sometimes they pay for it

  26. Implications … for tech elite • News is a feature in the midst of the online experience • Value is connected to velocity • Open door attitude vis-à-vis content & intellectual property • That’s the expectation for Tech Elite
