Catchy quotes from Tom Curley, President & CEO of AP, given during a November 1 dinner in New York and published by Editor and Publisher:
"The irony of the disrupted news economy of the 21st century is that the news is hot, but the news business is not ..."
"nothing has been invented to take the place of what reporters and committed news organizations do. Above all, it is about speaking truth to power when power most needs to be told."
"We are approaching an amazing point in the history of media. Quality will rule.

[This seems unjustifiably rosy to me, but I willingly bow to the superior wisdom of the guy who runs AP]

"Our focus must be on becoming the very best at filling people’s 24-hour news needs"
