Im taking part in a dinner/focus group to talk about the future of the BBC with some of its managers. Ive been trying to think of intelligent things to say, and Ive realised that my main view about the future of the BBC is that I want it to stay the same. And then I read this: Innovation and disruption are ideas that originated in the arena of business but which have since been applied to arenas whose values and goals are remote from the values and goals of business. People aren’t disk drives. Public schools, colleges and universities, churches, museums, and many hospitals, all of which have been subjected to disruptive innovation, have revenues and expenses and infrastructures, but they aren’t industries in the same way that manufacturers of hard-disk drives or truck engines or drygoods are industries. Journalism isn’t an industry in that sense, either. A wonderful paragraph, which comes from Jill Lepores New Yorker essay about the myth of disruptive innovation. Thats what I believe, so Ill be saying something along those lines. newyorker/reporting/2014/06/23/140623fa_fact_lepore
