Norman Macrae's life work at The Economist was dedicated to helping people advance the human lot through media and measurements  

worldclassprojects 2012.1 royal brainstrust on future of media- deadline month before olympics london - media people have a responsibility not only for mediating a war of words, but that between goodwill and badwill networks- Geoffrey Crowther's war time diary clarifies purpose of global media during The Economist's 1943 centenary : It is still possible by social action to create a world of justice, freedom, fraternite and material welfare. In this great caravan, the journal of opinion if it be humble and honest has its place. The Economist has stayed with the caravan for longer than most. It hopes to stay a great while longer..

2010S EXCITING & FUTURE SHOCKING DECADE

. In spite of many macroeconomic models out that deny entrepreneurial revolution intelligence, we have over 100 examples of total failure of multibillion dollar organisations caused by ignoring one or more of these 3 simple principles. However Big your organization is liable to implode at any given quarter unless

All knowledge co-workers are constantly asking who in the world would uniquely miss what we didn’t exist

Leaders and governance must constantly checking whose expectations of uniqueness are we most abusing – if you wholly lose the trust of anyone whose community is impacted by your organisation value multiplication models show quickly you can be zeroised (eg Anderson believed value was additive so that even if it brought down society’s valuation of it to zereo it was worth increasing the billions it was worth to business stakeholders however creative the accounting- in reality )*billions =) not )+ Billions)

Equality of opportunity is expressed by leaders structuring organisations round the knowledge economy reality :  projects are the new innovation lifeblood. Smart leaders make an open market of projects inside the organisation so everyone can have a transparent chance to innovate. Those projects that are chosen for next stage of value multiplying organisation’s purpose need to be chartered fairly so that if they don’t work out they are entrepreneurially failed fast rather than divert more and more resources to something that the organisation cant win at. In an age where more and more innovation projects are co-created by networks of partners those who are valued most as partners are those who are most experienced at iterating next steps in emotionally intelligent ways and transparent entrepreneurial valuation.

Don’t despair. The 2010s can be the most exciting decade for us to lead productive lives as long as we know which media and economics to get rid of, as well as whose social actions to joyfully celebrate.

That was the severe test my granddad set himself and fellow journalists for humanity - over 40 years of reporting for The Economist.  And that’s why Norman Macrae also asked people like me to storytell his life’s good news fables once a year after his parting in the summer of 2010.

Every time the dumbest media in the world collapses that is a good news opportunity. In Britain this weekend youth have cause to celebrate the end of The News of The World . Wrapped up in the 20th century’s most popular tabloid was everything we don’t need  advertisers to celebrate as young people take on the greatest sustainability games ever played.

Let’s hope the BBC in particular remembers that as it chooses how to celebrate the Olympics – Queen Elizabeth’s swansong for the joy of youth, commonwealth and linking in sustainability community actions everywhere.

The News of the World made the worst use of mobile telecoms of any media platform. Since Norman first discussed how to network with mobile telecoms in 1984 his entrepreneurial revolution friends have had 27 years searching for best uses.

We recommend nothing is more exciting to mobilise than what started in 1996 in Bangladesh when 100000 global villages hubs of the world’s poorest mothers started linking in sustainability economics. We invite thousands of youth to diarize good news stories of info technology at YouthandYunus.com  - this happy dotcom is spelt

Y O U T H A N D Y U N U S

Lets hope the world’s most powerful people join youth in exciting lessons on how NOT to use mobile phones. Give the Murdoch family the chance to invite the net generation to co-create good news media in the place of the most salacious gossip sheet in his empire. The strongest newspapers have always blended whole truth journalistic curiosity with at most a couple of goals chosen to improve the next generation’s lot.

YES YOU CAN

Lets help the Murdoch’s make their millennium goals wish come true.  Let it be that their family re-examine how their most powerful media can help youth celebrate another way to bail out banks. Join Queen Sofia's summit on this in Spain in November.  It is economically possible for media to help find a way in which youth are not trapped in picking up all the bills of their elders. As we all found out in 2008, this remains the urgent and defining good news story of the decade –the one that will shape generations and planet, for ever and a day.

Good News Bottomines:

1 Places everywhere now need structures that mediate investments in their youth’s co-production of heroic goals.

2 Consider how stories of bankabillion networks can be designed round girl power are so much more joyous than banking designed for ever fewer big brothers.

3 Bon courage Rupert Murdoch, Au Revoir Norman Macrae
