*Pivot Point participant [http://www.flickr.com/photos/infovalet/7371610972/in/set-72157630144267624 Rachel Davis Mersey's] 2010 books argues that news organizations should abandon a mass-market approach and focus on meeting the information needs of individual, identifiable users. She writes: "The identity-based model of journalism is not about dumbing down the news. It is about serving individuals so well that they are getting what they want and what you—the journalist—think they need . . .  the identity-based model of journalism focuses on serving the individual while rejecting the notion that general-circulation news has value."

*Contrary to popular belief, the results of this survey show that young adults are seriously interested in consuming news provided by news organizations. Two-thirds (67%) of media consumers ages 18-34 said they used their mobile media devices to access news provided by news organizations for an average of 5.0 hours per week. Of those who also owned Apple iPads, 84% said they accessed news provided by news organizations for an average of 7.3 hours per week.
 +
*Media consumers overall are most likely to use their mobile media devices for interpersonal communication and entertainment. As percentages of actual users, both categories ranked first or second across nearly all users of the individual devices and groups of devices.
 +
*Media consumers ages 18-34 tend to spend significantly more time using their mobile media devices for nearly all categories of applications than those in older age groups.
 +
*Well over half of all mobile media owners in all age groups tend to use their devices to keep up with news provided by news organizations.
 +
*Owners of Apple iPads in all age groups were much more likely to consume news provided by news organizations and to average more time doing so than those who did not own Apple iPads. <br><br>

*Stijn Debrouwere  works with The Gazette Co., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to create websites that "encourage exploration, tease out the context behind every story nad have the rich structure and metadata that's needed for repurposing across platforms." In this must-read personal blog post, "Fungible," he asserts that journalism is being replaced by niche websites, alternate, socially-mediated content and offers, at the end, a prescription for "How to Survive."

*Few mid-sized U.S. dailies have made as exensive a commitment to changing to a more "infovalet" business model than <i>The Day,</i> in New London, Conn. (circ. 20,468, daily). Last year, Publisher Gary Farrugia hired Dan Williams from the New York Times Co. to begin a serious audience-development effort. In one important shift in terminology, <i>The Day</i> now refers to its customers as "members" not "subscribers," and adopted a multi-tiered membership model for services that span print, web, mobile and commerce. <i>The Day</i> invested many thousands in user demographic data about its 108,000-household primary market from Nielsen and other sources that allows them to focus on "users" not "addresses"; adopted a single-sign-on user authentication across all platforms; and offers loyalty programs and transaction opportunities for ticket sales and other items.Their goal is to be "a hub of distributed content and conversation with a local connection from a trusted source."  Williams presented slides on the transition at an industry conference in early June.
