Last week I was at the National Publishers Congress of Mediafacts. The idea behind the line-up was clear: you are all in the same sinking boat, so we look for inspiration from speakers outside the traditional publishing world. Predominantly, because Wegener was also on stage with his 'digital first' strategy, a story that evoked a strong sense of déjà vu.One success story ( Ziff Davis Media ) followed the other ( premierguitar.com ) and I saw the 50+ men in dark blue suits sinking deeper and deeper into their chairs. When a consultant from GEA also hit them with dozens of cryptic business models, they hid even further behind their iPads. Because how different is it to be a Zite or to be some online niche player without a past, overhead or tradition in print? Not to mention the handicap of the limited Dutch language area. A niche in the US is in theory still a million-dollar market.

First it was citizen journalism or user generated content. But free work did not yield the quality that you can expect from a professional and you cannot make many demands on hobbyists in terms of deadlines and frequency.
