We have our quarterly board and employee meetings this week. We are an ESOP company, owned by our original founding families (over 126 years in business), and the Employee Stock Ownership Trust. So everyone is interested.

I have been back from the Media and Technology Summit (#mts on Twitter) for 10 days. The reentry back into work and an early Winter in Iowa has been harder than usual. Some of that is due to the pace of play in October, coupled with some strong personal challenges for [...]

RIF to RIF
This blog, which started with the hope of outlining the concepts which would lead to a Rich Information Format to strengthen communities, has not been updated recently because of another RIF, all too common today, the Reduction in Force.
As painful as this RIF was, we had no choice due to the abrupt decline in advertising [...]
Earlier View
Neil Perkin shared his thoughts on the future of media in this slide show seven months ago. I just saw it yesterday. I wish I had seen it last June. Very succinctly, he outlines the need for, and concepts behind, our efforts here at C3.
