jeffjarvis I think this gets to some *really* interesting questions actually. I think we'd both agree that the facts show the rise of personalization hasn't particularly advantaged actual media without me pulling out profitability charts, the duopoly graph, or an ad tech tax article?...

jeffjarvis The short version is: At the end of the day, the right answer for how publications can compete with rising avails is privacy, because privacy allows publishers to sell ads on a quality synergistic with the editorial side's principles: trust.
