Thom Yorke is at the Echoplex so there may be more than drinking going on.

According to the LAist, there have been 80 DUI incidents and 792 hit and runs this year.

Please join Citilista and EchoParkOnline as we take part in Coastal Clean Up Day at the Echo Park Lake! What does picking up trash all the way in Echo Park have to do with the ocean? Well according to Ida Talalla, who is organizing the Echo Park clean up in partnership with Central City Action Committee; “Much of the trash found on beaches and marine environment comes from an inland source, last year over 160 volunteers collected over 1,000 pounds of trash and 5,017 cigarette butts. Keeping trash out of storm drains is essential as all area storm drains exit into Echo Lake.” More information and how you can help can be found here.

At one time three channels were enough. Not so long ago, you could only buy one or two kinds of flour – now there are a dozen types at Whole Foods.

It’s not that people were all that different than they are today. You watched either Lawrence Welk or “I Love Lucy” or “The Munsters” because they were the only choices. There wasn’t the option of a home improvement show, reality TV show or a football game.

In that era, mass marketing worked. For a price, you were sure to hit nearly every demographic with a sprinkling of your message.

Today things are different. People can find exactly what interests them. Instead of choosing from the Top 40 they choose from the top million. Where do you fit in? Search and there’s a place for you – perhaps with the knitters or maybe the vacuum cleaner collectors.

Just as important a question for you – where does your business fit in? There are interest groups, communities and niches who would be happy to have you. One natural place that unifies people into groups is the neighborhood where you are located.

Citilista creates natural communities around neighborhoods. And Citilista is there help you find other online communities that will help your business connect with its customers, serve its clients better and ultimately thrive because of the relationships it can build.

“You don’t need to work at the L.A. Times anymore to be a significant journalist in L.A.” said Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, at a Sept. 2 presentation at USC Annenberg.

Instead of celebrating the ability to interact with the people most affected by the day’s events, instead of using them as a resource of information and correction, he laments this paradigm shift as journalists have lost their status as the gatekeepers.

“We may have a gate here, but the fence is torn down on both sides,” he said.

Amen.

Rosentiel is searching for a way to save newspapers, but frequently referred to newspapers as Journalism. Journalism will continue in any scenario

“Journalism’s challenge is not fundamentally an audience problem,” Rosenstiel said. “It is a revenue problem.”

Actually it is an audience problems as their print product continues to have fewer subscribers and readers go online for news.

“Audiences are migrating online,” he said. “The way we read a newspaper or watch a broadcast is dramatically different from the way we interface with information online.”

He describes the new paradigm: “Online we are hunter-gatherers, not having a relationship with just one news organization. And while a search ad may be complementary to this type of online activity, pop-up and banner advertisements present an intrusion for audiences seeking information.”

That’s why the new advertiser will not push content on to a customer, but offer a product the customer is already looking for.

The new business person will not market to a general audience such as newspaper subscribers, but participate in and support a community that is filled with people likely to want or need their service.

All these strategies – targeting the right customer, actively joining a discussion with likely users, creating brand loyalty through dialogue and common interests – are available through online communities such as Citilista.

Lastly he claims the Internet is not the democratic dream we’d hoped for, citing Google’s power of search.

At Citilista we don’t see Google’s search algorithm as an impediment but as a challenge to make readers happy. Yo make them happy helping them find the information they are looking for. That will increase your rank and put you on the first page when someone searches key terms.

Google search works on the the citation principle – that the more useful a website is the more people will link to it. It also takes into account the time people spend on the site once they get there.
