“I don’t want us to see us descend into a nation of bloggers,” says Jobs. “I think we need editorial oversight now more than ever. Anything we can do to help newspapers find new ways of expression that will help them get paid, I am all for.”
I think that as the next generation of journalists emerge they will form themselves into loose networks with senior people who advise and mentor the upcoming group so that they have the “editorial” oversight that jobs mentions, but without the “big business” overtones. Hyper-local news….(maybe I’ll save that for next time)

Carmine Gallo is a communications skills coach and has written a new book “The presentation secrets of Steve Jobs: How to be insanely great in front of any audience“.
This stuff is important for educators we are more often required to speak not only to students, but parents, administrators etc etc. These skills are incredibly valuable and become a key assett in communicating your message.
