Here is hoping 2015 will see:

— The Pulitzer Prizes are not given to the same annual one-day wonders.

— Stories on Jill Abramson morph into stories from Jill Abramson.

— More math — any math — in all those gushy profiles of new media startups and journalism’s saviors.

— A Journalist Rescue Fund, one that is as impactful as the Scholar Rescue Fund.

— That likely new owners of the Financial Times and The Economist value the journalism there as much as the trophy brands they are buying.

— That more newsrooms (and Wall Street) will shun third-party “partner” parasites.

— An acknowledgement that 20/20 is good as hindsight goes, but if 2020 is your target for major change, you are in deep trouble.

— The good people of Circa’s newsroom have a soft, good landing somewhere.

— A meaningful thaw in the glacial pace at which most mainstream newsrooms still get their journalism to their audiences.

— More Ken Doctor analysis and less mainstream media punditry.

— The realization that if you are now behind your readers’ habits (think social and mobile, for example), your news organization is not playing catchup but is actually going backward.
