    @wjchat There will always be a demand for information. If there is a demand for something, it can be profitable. #wjchat

    Q2 I spend at least 30% of my time, sometimes more, on biz side. Analytics mostly. I could do more. It's an exciting time. #wjchat

    @wjchat Q2 Managing people is biz too. I think we need to spend more time in newsrooms managing our human capital. #wjchat #wjchat

    Money can influence coverage. Some news orgs pick and choose which stories they cover based on financial resources, staffing #wjchat

    @wjchat Transparency, not objectivity, right? Transparency is saying no to almost everything and disclosing the rest. #wjchat

    @wjchat For the news biz, it's important to remember there's no innovation without risk. Dyson tried 500 prototypes. We need to try. #wjchat

    @lalorek Very true. Journalism needs to look outside itself for ideas and also learn to make innovation part of the DNA. #wjchat
