A must-read for all you content types (that’s ‘editorial’) in the old paradigm

Here are 7 non-nonsense rules for any editorial types who plan to survive the 2009 Media Meltdown and transform themselves into the content creators of the future. For the detail, read the original blog on Recessionwire, written by Laura Rich, a journalist and regular contributor there.

1. Readers are your competitors — and your friends.
2. Identify your expertise.
3. Build your brand.
4. Be transparent.
5. Crowdsource (actively seek participation in the development of your story).
6. Use self service tools.
7. Interact with your readers.

You’ll find the full explanation behind each at the original blog.

Go forth, do good and do well.
