A New Journalism Age.

Posted by Eric at 1:37 pm. Filed under: General

Jeff Jarvis has a good roundup of the “tipping point” in media.

Ruport Murdoch and George Will are quoted.

Murdoch:

Mr Murdoch said that news “providers” such as his own organisation had better get web-savvy, stop lecturing their audiences, “become places for conversation” and “destinations” where “bloggers” and “podcasters” congregate to “engage our reporters and editors in more extended discussions.”

Will:

The circulation of daily U.S. newspapers is 55.2 million, down from 62.3 million in 1990. The percentages of adults who say they read a paper “yesterday” are ominous…

Perhaps we are entering what David T.Z. Mindich, formerly of CNN, calls “a post-journalism age.”

Jarvis points out that it’s not post-journalism, it’s new journalism. Even just the fact that “real journalists” call it post-journalism carries an arrogance of elitism.
