The media giveth and the media taketh away, especially where Madison’s creative economy is concerned. IB presents two recent takes on innovation in the Capital City, one flattering and one not so flattering.
The first, from Fast Company, is entitled “Why Tech Startups are Mad for Madison” and focuses on the upside.
In the second, a more cautionary essay entitled “The Fall of the Creative Class,” author and former Madison resident Frank Bures doesn’t think much of Madison as an innovation hub. It appeared in Thirty Two magazine, a new publication based in the Twin Cities.
