Yelp editor Bialik says journalists should run businesses

Carl Bialik

Carl Bialik, science editor at Yelp, says that journalists will try their hand at running entire business operations.

Now, with digitization, journalists are more focused on the digital aspect to reporting. These digital journalists are now coordinating in unions, supposed business experts bungling media takeovers, and technology creating new kinds of paid jobs in journalism.

Additionally, these journalists will experiment and look for new ways of delivering and monetizing journalism. Although some ventures fail, Bialik says they are “no more often than more traditional and MBA-run operations do.”

“Relatedly, something like a new Gawker Media — with many former Gawker Media journalists — will be born,” he concludes.
