“内容为王”的时代已经过去了，渠道才是王道。因为信息过剩，新闻记者仍然像矿工一样不断生产，而媒体却像1980年代的矿主，挤压了大量的矿产却因为渠道不畅没办法转化成银子。因之，作为媒体终端的记者个体越来越难以感觉到自身的价值。下一波的弄潮儿，将是能够熟练运用各种渠道把资讯产品最便捷地带给受众的人。

这或许也是胡舒立和《财经》主办方矛盾的根源。在对未来的发展上，胡舒立有更激进更直接的大胆构思，为此她不惜暂时付出《财经》在中国传统媒体优势地位这一代价，去抢占未来的先机。如果这是胡置之死地而后生的大破大立，则堪为中国媒体发展史上悲壮一幕，不是先驱，便是先烈。

2009年2月27日，美国科罗拉多州丹佛的《落基山新闻报》(Rocky Mountain News) 出版了它150周年历史上的最后一期。这一期的封面几乎全黑，黑色报头，配上一篇整版的文章，没有任何图片，文章的标题叫”Goodbye Colorado” (再见，科罗拉多）。它宣告了在离150周年庆典只有55天的时候，这家新闻日报终于撑不下去，宣布停刊。整个头版，就像是报纸给自己登的讣告。

一场大雨浇湿了旧金山开出的列车和它的铁轨，这在以阳光沙滩著称的加州实属少见。车到Palo Alto的时候，我停了下来，看了斯坦福著名的音乐钟楼。天变得越来越黑，雨越来越大，而钟楼上的音乐声却一直不停，让人仿佛穿越在一个黑暗而美妙的音乐盒之中。

那是美国总统大选投票日的前一天晚上。最终我也没有能去见上小玻，从斯坦福出来的时候，看到路标，旧金山向左，硅谷向右。确实，互联网是一座新金山。

华人的政治地位受削弱，很大程度源自于马来西亚1969年发生的“5.13”事件。当年全国大选进行过半之时，华人及印度人政党意外取得领先，可能取代马来人统治国家，结果参加集会庆祝的华人与马来人爆发流血冲突，国家进入紧急状态，选举也被中止，这也基本取消了华人以合法途径取得执政地位的可能。流血冲突导致多人死伤，这基本成为该国的记忆伤疤，国家临时委员会进行了两年多的戒严，才基本平息事态，但从此之后，马来西亚以政治上的威权著称，再不复之前的柔和状态。国家对马来原住民的特别支持，马来与其他人种的比较等敏感问题，列为公众不得讨论内容，报纸也不可以妄加评论。此为马来西亚媒体的一条红线。

2007年2月，当时我在马来西亚吉隆坡接受新媒体培训。期间接受了当地最大的华文报纸之一《中国报》记者的采访，谈到中国大陆的博客情况。当然，以今看来，情况已经日新月异了。

The Market of China’s Press has been newly emerging during the past three decades. It is a tradition that all the Chinese media are controlled by the government. So it was not until 1979, when the economic reform and opening policy was implemented, the press began to think about marketing. Yet the process went very slowly. Before 1992, most of the press were still subsidized by the government. They didn’t need to care much about marketing and subscriptions.
