Except it’s not journalism:
George Friedman is not in the business of journalism. He wants to make that clear. But while traditional media organizations are on the decline, Stratfor, the Austin, Texas-based global intelligence company he started in 1996, is on the rise as readers look for alternatives to the ailing international sections of their daily papers.
(…) Stratfor’s big bet is that while news organisations may be declining, people still need to understand the news and they’ll be willing to pay for that analysis.
