Continuing the theme of the death of the journalism business model, here’s an interview from yesterday’s Daily Show with Walter Isaacson of the Aspen Institute. Isaacson is a champion of the “there should be an ‘iTunes for news’ even though iTunes’ own business model has invalidated itself” crowd. He’s written a cover story on the topic in this month’s Time magazine; I don’t agree with much of what he says (particularly the part where he uses a totally bogus homespun childhood analogy to imply that free content is somehow tantamount to theft), but I thought it was interesting to hear.
