MONACO: Mathias Döpfner opened his interview segment at the Monaco Media Forum with the stunning news that the German media giant’s newspaper division is showing a 25.4% profit.
“If print is a dead business, then this kind of death feels pretty comfortable for me.”
No kidding. Springer is riding in the opposite direction of almost every other western media house. Yes, Arianna Huffington is also on stage but is clearly outclassed in this discussion.

A few weeks ago I interviewed Mario Garcia, Ph.D. in Prague for the feature-length documentary film project I am producing. I have filmed many interviews over the last two years that document this historic moment in journalism history.
Mario Garcia talks with Robb Montgomery for his documentary film project about journalism in transition.
I am making parts of this film while I have the opportunities to witness these changes up close.
Martha Stone of Shaping the Future of News asked me to share some excerpts from Mario’s interview on a big screen next month at the WAN-IFRA congress in Hyderabad, India.

My family and friends have asked me to tell them my impressions from the last 30 days spent training journalists overseas. I was out of country for the entire month of February with stops in Germany, Denmark, Italy, Croatia, and Egypt. I could start this start this story by deglamorizing it and recalling that the last time I saw my luggage was when I boarded this wee Alitalia turboprop at seven a.m. for a flight from Zagreb to Milan.
Flying over the Adriatic Sea
Perhaps it was while we were buzzing low over the Adriatic, the airline decided I would be be better off wearing the same clothes for four days in Italy. In the end, it took 13 days and dozens of calls (And lost time) to have my bag shipped home to Chicago. Every call to Alitalia led to a new promise of delivery and so I kept waiting. They lied - every time. That’s another blog item for another day.
