Topics:
The launch of The Local East Village with the NYU and The New York Times joining forces.
The launch of Apple’s Ping service and why it was such a flop.
Why blogs aren’t really conversations.
The inaugural lecture Jay gave to journalism students in France: The Journalists Formerly Known as the Media.

The art of “positioning” in news and selling products.
Here’s the show, we hope you like it:
Thanks as always for the show — lots to think about.
You should have someone from Consumer Reports on the show at some point to talk about how that model could be expanded.
