Good stuff I’ve read recently, haven’t linked to yet, but don’t have much to add to right now:

- [The Nichepaper Manifesto](http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque/2009/07/the%5Fnichepaper%5Fmanifesto.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – an articulate and well argued guide to how niche publishing might looks going forwards.
- [Media as a Hobby is not Sustainable As a Business](http://broadstuff.com/archives/1806-Media-as-a-hobby-is-not-sustainable.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – you can always rely on Alan to beat the ideas of idealists soundly with the hammer of reality. (Boy, was that a Friday afternoon metaphor)
- [Some Thoughts on Local News](http://853blog.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/some-thoughts-on-local-news/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – Some ruminations from long-time south east London blogger 853 on how hyper-local (ie geographic hyper-niche) journalism might look.
- [Reed New Boy Smith Makes a Big Splash](http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c8c55c48-7d6a-11de-b8ee-00144feabdc0.html?nclick%5Fcheck=1&ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – Some hints here as to what we’re focusing on within RBI.
- [Comments Add Value to Newspaper Websites](http://beatblogging.org/2008/07/25/comments-add-value-to-newspaper-web-sites/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – I’ve long been ambivalent about adding comments to traditional journalism, but Patrick makes some compelling arguments around how they can really be made to work.

And with that, I hand you over to August and the silly season that comes with it.
