eine interessante Untersuchung von Jan Schaffer zur Thematik des Citizen Journalism:

Local news web sites offering content generated by users are securing a valuable place in the media landscape and are likely to continue as important sources of community news, according to a report released today by J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism.

"Citizen sites are developing as new forms of bridge media, linking traditional news with forms of civic participation," said J-Lab director, Jan Schaffer, author of the report, which was funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation.

These sites, which take many forms, have rapidly emerged since 2004. But rather than delivering comprehensive news and "finished stories," most sites are "forming as fusions of news and schmooze" that pay particular attention to key issues in their communities, Schaffer said.

The report, "Citizen Media: Fad or the Future of News: The rise and prospects of hyperlocal journalism," was commissioned to determine the prospects for sustainability of these fledgling enterprises. It relied on in-depth interviews of 31 different sites and a 60-question, online survey that targeted 500 citizen sites that could be identified in the fall of 2006 and generated 191 responses.

"Blogboy does his bugga-bugga about the distributed, post-scarcity, small-is-the-new-big, paperless, unplatform era of citizen control of media. I apparently have found my proper role in life: frightening people." (Zitat von Jeff Jarvis, aka buzzmachine.com)

Dieses Zitat stammt aus einem wirklich visionären Eintrag von Jeff Jarvis zur Situation der Print-Medien. Und zum Vergleich Amerika - Europa. (Ich weiss, ich wiederhole mich,.... )

ÖPDATE: Zur selben Diskussion ein weitere Eintrag von Jeff Jarvis: Fast Company dialogue: Is print dead?

"Print is not dead. Print is where words go to die.
But that’s the problem with print: It is far too one-way for this two-way world."

Gastblogger Steve Smith bei PressThink: Fortress Journalism Failed. The Transparent Newsroom Works:

"The users of news aren’t hesitating. They are going to insist on an interactive, two-way flow of information, ideas and opinion— whether we like it or not. And if we don’t develop the user-as-producer model ourselves, others will do it for us or to us."
