Simply put I couldn't agree more with this individuals point of view.
The article: Journalism evolving, not dying. An interview of science author Steven Johnson at the South By South West Interactive Festival
Bullets of interest:
- Newspapers are dying but journalism is evolving
- Newspaper industry; it is ugly and it is going to get uglier. Great journalists are going to lose their jobs and cities are going to lose their newspapers.
- The shift (death of newspapers) was foreseeable but ignored, resulting in changes that should have happened gradually over a decade being crammed into a year or two with some pressure from the global economic meltdown
-There is panic that newspapers are going to disappear as businesses. Then there is panic that crucial information is going to disappear along with them. We spend so much time figuring out how to keep the old model on life support that we don't figure out how to build the new one.
-News organizations should stop wasting resources on information freely available online.
- "Print editions are yesterday's news. If it is news, people want to hear it as soon as they can".
Touché!
