Today’s Discussion
• A new example of local information delivery
• A better understanding of customer needs across multiple groups

• What this means for you
• No easy answers, but lots of big questions

Existing Information Sources
• Not local enough – regional or bigger in scope
• Not fast enough – local newspaper sources were seen as too slow
• Any rapid information came from sources neither local nor relevant – from New York or Philadelphia
• Not trustworthy – local media was regarded as inaccurate and unreliable
• Not easily available via mobile

What we asked:
45
You’re here because you have a relationship with Jersey Shore Hurricane News; because they provide you with something you don’t feel like you get anywhere else.
What is that?
![Page 46: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I can use right now”
46
“It’s great to have a real-time connection like this”
![Page 47: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I can use right now”
47
“Local news as it happens. Community collaboration and information.”
![Page 48: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I can use right now”
48
“Current, up to the minute local news information. A sense of community in
reporting coming from multiple sources.”
![Page 49: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I can use right now”
49
“Up to date EXTREMELY local news concerning not just big headlines,
but issues that affect us directly (lost pets, people in need of help, etc.)
It helps bring the people to the forefront, and really get things done
rather than just report events. It's a great sounding board for up to the minute news directly from the
mouths of those in our area.”
![Page 50: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I know I can trust”
50
“The information has never been wrong. As with any business you obtain customers
by forming a trust with them. If you break that trust you will lose them. There has
never been a story on the page that created any sort of negative buzz. Many times I
notice the source is even cited.”
![Page 51: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I know I can trust”
51
“There seems to be a level of trust among the members of this group that monitors what’s posted and
discourages false and misleading information.”
![Page 52: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me information I know I can trust”
52
“It is trustworthy because we all have a vested interest in providing precise
information on subjects that we have knowledge in. The fact that it is a
“user”-supported venue of information brings forth the best in all of us ... we
are there to help each other.”
![Page 53: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me an opportunity to participate in a
community that is important to me”
53
“A community that I can relate to and communicate with in an adult manner as opposed to ‘trolls’ on many other forums such as the comment section
of an online newspaper.”
![Page 54: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me an opportunity to participate in a
community that is important to me”
54
“Local traffic, alternate routes, weather, local events and people that I care about
because they are here in my neighborhood. All of these things are reported by my
neighbors who also care about our community as much as I do. My only info
link during Hurricane Irene was JSHN. I was able to ask questions of my neighbors who
stayed behind while we evacuated.”
![Page 55: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me an opportunity to participate in a
community that is important to me”
55
“I feel it is my duty to post information if it is relevant to the community of
JSHN…”
![Page 56: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What we asked:
56
Why do you stay connected to Jersey Shore Hurricane News even now that
there is no weather emergency?
![Page 57: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me news that is relevant to me right now”
57
“It is literally news from the source from the people who see things
happening with their own eyes ... uncensored and minor issues that
aren’t pushed to the back burner like other news outlets.”
![Page 58: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me news that is relevant to me right now”
58
“It the most up to date and relevant to me and my family. I trust my
neighbors more than the other semi-local media outlets.”
![Page 59: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Customer Needs/JTBD:“Give me news that is relevant to me right now”
59
“[I rarely get local community information] from newspapers because quite frankly, it's very ‘yesterday’ in what it portrays.”
![Page 60: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
How has this happened?
• Traditional newsmedia organizations do not trust people.
• Traditional newsmedia organizations are afraid to take risks, do new or different things.
• Traditional newsmedia organizations are not structured to be fast.
• Traditional newsmedia organizations have forgotten what it’s like to be the customer.
60
![Page 61: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
JSHN and Vermont Floodingsucceeded because …
• Traditional newsmedia organizations see only audiences – they do not see contributors or partners
• These sites welcomed readers as active creators; they already have trust in the community
• Legacy journalism is perceived as farther from the source: farther = less value
• In today’s world, the connection among audience members is what gives content its value
61
![Page 62: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Social Media has Changed the Paradigm
• JSHN is an example of, and capitalized on, the way people live their lives today; it never had to change the way it operated
• JSHN is a perfect example of unique local news, a key reader interest driver
• JSHN’s value is in streams/always on, always there; will have (or can get) critical information when you need it
• JSHN makes you feel you are part of what happens/you are there; your contribution is valuable to other community members

News flash:The Internet isn’t the problem
63
“ … crappy newspaper executivesare a bigger threat to journalism’s future
than any changes wrought by the Internet.”
![Page 64: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
News flash:The Internet isn’t the problem
64
“The biggest threats to newspapers aren’t just their familiar revenue problems and ever-
proliferating competitors, but also the opportunity costs of failing to innovate more
boldly — to be transformative, not incremental, in moving forward.”
![Page 65: Way Beyond News America East](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013100/549971c7b47959af668b463b/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

The Real Issue for Newsmedia Organizationsis in How Little Information has Personal Relevance

• How much am I investing in them now?
• What will be irrelevant?
• How much am I investing in those things now?

Implications
• The need for “tech-knowledgy” staff and future thinkers – a training responsibility
• The reallocation of staff and other resources to new opportunities – for example, to mine and cultivate this community to be truly “many : many”
• The importance of measuring the right metrics, not taking no for an answer

Lessons for all of us
• We have forgotten how to be our customer (reader or business)
• Our job today is to provide information that will help our customer— regardless of where it comes from originally. It’s no longer one : many and we are The Source.
• Aggregation/curation from many sources is a key service
• What we think is news might not be important information

Some bad signs
• You don’t have control any more
• You don’t have much trust
• You’re over-investing in the present, and under-investing in the future
• You’re not looking for unmet needs
• You’re not seeking ways to grow community

How the “Vermont Flooding” Community Grew
• Passive/lurker
• Shared experience => photo contributions:“I can add value/makes me a member”
• Seek expertise from the crowd: “Is this road open?”
• Ability to provide expertise => greater value
• Self-organize to help => shared activity => belonging
• Celebrations (rituals)

What’s next for us
• Answers varied widely on whether community members would pay, but many wouldn’t and all thought it would lower participation
• Therefore, need to identify revenue streams that don’t hinder engagement!
– Audience: Offline conversations and events
– Businesses: How do they want to be connected with their customers?
• Also need to develop success metrics that reflect engagement73

What’s next for you
• What are the important conversation-drivers in your community?
• How can you facilitate those conversations?
• How can you liberate resources:
– Nimbleness
– Future investment
• How can you build your community?
