Elsewhere, there is Jimmy Wales flatteringly quoting Matthew Freud ... is that a "fresh off the latté" quote from a meeting in person or one read off the PR sheet?
Is Wales going for consultancy fees from established media operations next ... off the backs of the Wiki-cult slaves? Wales gets the
"the founder of Wikipedia" label from The Guardian paper and apparently "laid down the founding principles and content, establishing an Internet-based community of contributors during that year".
The real miracle for business is how does the "high priest of the Cult of the Amateur" Wales get his Wiki-cult slaves to BOTH work for free 24/7 AND pay for it!!!Right-wing leaning Matthew Freud was been judged the 2010 UK's most powerful PR professional, following research among 20 senior journalists. Cuts from the interview are,

Newser and Wikipedia founders spotlight start-up media business opportunitiesWikipedia founder Jimmy Wales quoted a metaphor from Matthew Freud, boss of Freud Communications this morning during his keynote at The Guardian’s Changing Media Summit, to demonstrate the flaw in the business model of traditional media.
“A baker sells fresh bread each day and gives away the previous day’s stale bread. By contrast the media gives away its fresh product [online] and sells the previous day’s product [print].
The concept of a news cycle shouldn’t exist in an environment where content can be published round the clock said Wales. He cited the example of an international story such as the international response to the Haiti earthquake.
“A newspaper might provide a daily news update but that doesn’t provide any context in the way that a Wikipedia entry would. Newspapers could easily provide contextual information yet they are focussed too much on the news cycle,†said Wales.
In his afternoon keynote Newser-founder Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) agreed that traditional media remained focussed on news cycles but that consumers had an unsatisfied appetite for news in the morning as a kickoff to the day.
“Television, radio and print are all tied to a morning agenda,†said Wolff. But no one has cracked this concept online,†he said. In response Emily Bell said that although The Guardian was a continuous news operation it tried to deliver to a morning agenda.
“Entrepreneurs should spent time exploring new models. Morning internet is an opportunity,†said Wolff.
Laughing enough ... and this underline the state of the nation ... for the most influential man in UK media from an extended family of the most illustrious Freuds on the planet and biggest media moguls, the Wikipedia page for says,
