Interesting thought about the market here. It seems though that the Atlantic and Vox have a pretty good bead on that. Between Derek Thompson etc. and Kelsey Piper etc. I think one thing we can do is augment their efforts and contribute to those already established and successful platforms, as well as Works in Progress.
I am not aware of the financial situation of any of these outlets, but I don’t see a market hole for another one. This might be good advice though for other current operations like Warp News.
Agree, building a new platform from the ground up would be an expensive and difficult undertaking. But I’d argue that established operations, like Big Think, Free Think, Human Progress, Warp, Progress Network etc, already have established brands and modes of communication. I think in a perfect world, a Big Think, Free Think like website would be the perfect platform as a template for a stand alone site. It’s even got a perfect name, “Pivot.”
I’m not sure what the best answer is, but that’s why I wanted to write about it, to continue the conversation.
