RSS Troubles Publishers

The Online Journalism Review analyzes publishers' concerns about the potential pitfalls of RSS. Not the first time I have heard this.

Steve -- I think there's more to the OJR story I wrote than publishers expressing concerns, although that's certainly the emphasis of the headline. It's also about RSS evolving in use, about the decisions publishers have to make as tey move forward and about attitudes toward RSS advertising. And, for me, I think one of the most important points is about the need for publishers to use RSS or risk becoming irrelevant. What struck me as I was reporting this was that while print publishers stress over losing audience RSS nurtures readers who care about news. But, hey, I'm just the writer. One of the things I like about blogs is throwing a story out there and learning what other people see when they read it. -- Staci
