A New Journalism Age.
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.
