While the news industry comes crashing down there are daily examples of new money to be made in the information industry, simply by reading (drum roll of irony here) the news! Two recent articles, one in the SF Chronicle, and the other in the Wall Street Journal, point to new business information opportunities for publishers and providers to take stock of. The US government isn’t going to do either of these well. Heck, the current administration is up to its eyeballs in alligators over health reform but ironically won’t create standards for and measure medical errors. Hmmm.  And there is no chance that standard ratings for international airlines are going to get any attention while Uncle Sam is trying to solve its own intelligence failures focused on passengers who fly on said airlines.

So this leaves good old ingenuity up to the likes of Hearst Business, Vendome Group, Ascend or McGraw-Hill Aviation Group to come up with some good reliable trusted information that it can serve-up and sell. The industry needs new money and the news continues to point to it.  Any takers?
