Adam's approach is practical, thoughtful and ambitious and he's creating space for discussions that need to be had. But often in these discussions the question of 'how does one make a living out of this' is swerved.One of the delegates at the Not On The Wires event earlier this year pushed the point with a media collective who addressed the gathering, to be told eventually that one of the speakers had a full-time job with a law firm. I remain to be convinced that entrepreneurialism in journalism is new in itself, just that the ways we need to be entrepreneurial are changing – which can also be described as 'economics', or just 'life'. There is a residual suspicion of making money from journalism that has to be addressed though. Congrats of setting this blog up for precisely those reasons. My own thoughts on a few of the events earlier this year are at http://www.inpublishing.co.uk/kb/articles/future_of_journalism.aspx and there's a conversation on my blog at http://martincloake.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/voj10-what%E2%80%99s-the-value-of-journalism-a-debate-5/ which readers might want to contribute to.
