Weathering the Storm: Surviving the Internet Age

Everyone realizes that the media we’ve grown up with are in big trouble. TV stations are cutting back (I know something about that). Newspapers are folding every week, the future uncertain. Douglas examines the trends, and how the Internet poses a destructive threat – and – the most amazing and potentially profitable opportunity the business world has ever seen. How will media continue to transform in the months ahead? What does it mean for citizens of every country and the strength of democracy? Paul makes some long-range predictions, focusing on how he’s tapping the full potential of the Internet with his two new ventures, WeatherNation and Singular Logic. There has never been a more fortuitous time to start a new company, even with a deep recession. How can business leverage current trends and make smart decisions (today) that will pay off down the road? Paul attempts to connect the dots and explain how any business can capitalize from the power of the ‘net.
