Today we’ll be talking about a news story that made the rounds last week about the evolution of news consumption. One of the prominent quotes in that story was from a college student who said: “if the news is that important, it will find me”. We’ll discuss what that means for the business of news, and for news makers.
Another interesting story this morning is about the tightly guarded Apple Design process – the process that has produced hits like iPod, iPhone, and the MacBook Air. We’ll discuss the impact of industrial design on purchasing decisions that consumers make. Join the call and tell us whether form or function is more important to you!
