This past week the media pundits offered their reviews of 2014 and predictions for 2015. Some are uplifting, like Mathew Ingram’s “The Year in Media: 12 Reasons Why We Should be Optimistic” on GigaOm. Some are less so, like The Awl’s John Herrman’s “Some 2015 Predictions,” which includes such inspirational phrases as:
Proud spammers and uncanny cynics and weird internet plagiarists and liars will be given a lot of money.
Oh good, 2015 looks like fun.
Instead of sitting back and waiting to see where the Vice and Gawker chips fall this year, we’re taking on the task of making this year the best year yet in digital media. Parse.ly is committing to #NewsYearResolution for 2015 (see what we did there?).
It’s not a New Year’s Resolution, because we’re not interested in the clichéd ending to those: giving up all your goals by Jan. 6. This resolution starts post-New Years, and we’re keeping it for all of 2015.
How will we do it?
- First, we’ll need your help finding the biggest challenges that you’re facing in 2015, especially those that involve audiences, content or news.
- Once we hear from you, we’ll analyze the results and share those results with anyone that filled out the survey.
- Each month in 2015, the Parse.ly team and some special guests will lay out a plan of action that will help you solve these problems.
Submit the issue you want to solve in the quick, two-minute survey below. And don’t worry if you can’t come up with any on the spot; we seeded some that we think are top of mind. Cheers to 2015!
We’ll be taking submission through Jan. 20, 2015.
