Another Newspaper Relic Weighs In
Lou Heldman is Distinguished Senior Fellow in Media Management and Journalism at Wichita State University. He is retired president and publisher of the Wichita Eagle and Kansas.com.
In nine months since I was carried from the bloody arena of the newspaper business and ascended to the ivory tower, I’ve gained this perspective: Most newspapers don’t need the best new idea to grow their classifieds business. They mostly need to get better at executing what they already know.
He then offers his “wish I would have done it” list.PS: just to clarify, I am a newspaper relic too!

Mark,
After reading Mr. Heldman’s article, I wanted to see what you had written. But, all I can view is: He then offers his “wish I had done it” list. PS: just to clarify, I am a newspaper relic, too.
Also being a relic, I was really interested to read your point of view, especially since I largely agree with Mr Heldman.
