By King Kaufman: The big journalism story of the day Thursday was Dan Froomkin's firing by the Washington Post, but we're interested in the future around here, so we surfed in tomorrowland. Here's some reading to start your tomorrow:

• Who says you can't sell content online? Men's Health is doing it, via iPhone. Lose that gut!

• Chris O'Brien at MediaLab thinks on an interesting question for our age: If you didn't read the comments, have you really read the story?

• Is this a bad dream? You awake to find yourself the new owner of the Boston Globe. What do you do now? Once you finish patting yourself on the back for catching that subtle Kafka reference in his lede, Martin Langeveld has some tips for you at Nieman Lab.

Including: Go almost-all-digital and launch a bunch of real, non-robotic hyperlocal sites throughout the state, plus a bunch of "vertical" local niche sites -- food, real estate, etc. Keep most content free but charge for the specialized stuff that junkies in each niche will pay for. Publish a print Globe once a week, on Friday, that's more like a magazine, and smaller niche publications that repurpose online content.

And probably most important: Sell the building and the presses, and build a digital-savvy team of salespeople and designers who can sell across these various platforms.

In an update, Langeveld notes that Dan Kennedy wrote a similar piece at MediaNation in March.

• The Chicago Reader quotes EveryBlock co-founder Daniel X. O'Niell at an FoJ conference over the weekend telling a young audience to chill out about making money.

"I swear to God we'll look back 10 years from now and we'll all be making an insane amount of money and we're going to look at each other and we're going to say, 'Hey, you were there that day! Remember, we all thought we were screwed?'" O'Niell said. "No, we're not. Everything's great. It's literally impossible for the answer to the question 'What happened?' not to be valuable."

Tempering the enthusiasm a bit, co-panelist Rich Gordon of Northwestern University warned the crowd that journalism as a source of a reliable living wage is not the historical norm.

• Mansi Bhatia works at San Jose State and gives good advice to young journalists: 10 job-hunting tips and Five tips for journalism/PR newbies.

• I've got 2034 in the pool: This Australian Broadcasting Company discussion of the American newspaper scene leads off by saying one commentator has predicted that the last print edition will be delivered in 2043. Paul Gillen of Newspaper Death Watch says the last major metro daily will expire sometime between 2015 and 2020.

• "Crowdsourcing" is a buzzword. But it can also be a powerful journalism tool. David Eaves ponders the U.K. Guardian's great work -- meaning the great work of its readership -- on the MPs' expenses scandal.
