All the News thats Fit to Print

All the News thats Fit to Print The New York Times tag line rings in my head without having to think. Quite the branding theyve done. It is just too bad that so many quality papers are struggling or stopping their presses. I guess they didnt have innovative teams guiding them and looking toward the future or at least watching the trends. From a personal standpoint, do you have the innovation to re-invent yourself to compete in the market? Have you been watching the trends within your occupation and industry? It is quite easy to fall into a comfort zone of complacency and turn our radar off. So what can you do to stay current? Read. Read about your industry through trade publications, read about the cutting edge trends across the country in Fast Company. Read about national and international topics in The Week. Sit down on Fridays with the Rochester Business Journaland subscribe for free for their daily digests. SmartBrief compiles stories and events by industry and you can subscribe for free. It is also a good idea to read about things going on outside of your industry/occupation. Ask other people you respect what they are reading. Lets not forget about blogs. Either company blogsor blogs written by great minds/thinkers. I enjoy reading blogs and seeing who they are siting and have listed on their blogroll. Dig a little and find new sources to stimulate your thinking. Do you have a favorite news source? Please share it in a comment.
