CyberWriter: citizen journalism

citizen journalism

Almost every day, The Chronicle hears from readers (and some non-readers). Most of these comments -- voicemail, email and letters -- don't make it into our letters column. But they can be unusually passionate, irate, confounding and creative.

We listen to them and read them, and we think some of the more interesting and unusual ones are worth sharing.

So, today, we're starting a new feature to showcase these communications. It's called, "Correct Me If I'm Wrong."

Liebe NYT: "Alles fliesst, nichts bleibt ..... Panta Rhei ...

Die New York Times beschäftigt sich "gezwungernermassen" mit CJ (Citizen Journalism) mit einem immernoch eher zynischen Unterton:

Starting tomorrow, users will be able to upload photos and videos to a section of Yahoo called You Witness News (news.yahoo.com/page/youwitnessnews). All of the submissions will appear on Flickr or a similar site for video. Editors at both Reuters and Yahoo will review the submissions and select some to place on pages with relevant news articles, just as professional photographs and video clips are woven into their news sites today.

“People don’t say, ‘I want to see user-generated content,’ ” said Lloyd Braun, who runs Yahoo’s media group. “They want to see Michael Richards in the club. If that happens to be from a cellphone, they are happy with a cellphone. If it’s from a professional photographer, they are happy for that, too.”

Man könnte es fast "Reader's Digest" nennen ....

Sehr interessanter Artikel von Michael Hirschhorn bei The Atlantic online. Der Artikel nimmt konkret Bezug auf die EPIC 2014-Vision und Epic 2015-Vision von Matt Thompson und Robin Sloan. Das Blog der beiden: http://snarkmarket.com/blog/ (Die deutsche Version von EPIC 2014 gibts hier.)

Online news, microchunked, consumed on the fly, is fast food; the newspaper, fed by its newly invigorated journalist-brands, is the sit-down meal. In this marginally more optimistic future history, the roles of print and digital are inverted. Original news—in the form of stories, postings, and community—begins online, while print offers an intelligent digest/redaction that readers—and not only the elite and elderly—can peruse at their leisure. You could even call it Reader’s Digest.

The Hype vs. Reality The Hype vs. Reality The Hype vs. Reality The Hype vs. Reality

Sehr interessante Arbeit von Hsing Wei an der Harvard Universität.

“The Hype vs. Reality vs. What People Value: Emerging Collaborative News Models and the Future of News”

There is much confusion over the hype vs. reality of collaborative news and interactive technology’s impact. What is out there? How should the emergence of these innovations be analyzed? How do they differ from the communication and knowledge offered by traditional news formats? How do they change the engagement of citizens to each other and to societal issues? And following from any resolution to this confusion, how can they be used to improve news media for the future? The scope of this paper cannot fully address all these questions, but it will provide a starting outline on some...

CJ-Erklärung: From Pamphlet to Blog

Click To Play

Cambridge Community Television hosted a 3-month documentary production course that resulted in this short documentary on Citizen Journalism. The Project Documentary team includes: Jason Crow, Shaun Clarke, Darcie Deangelo, Amy Mertl, Buz Owen, Jason Ong, Matt Landry, Mayana Leocadio. Read what "Journalism.co.uk" had to say about it:

Citizen journalism film released online
By: Oliver Luft

Cambridge Community Television (CCTV) - a US based electronic media public training forum - has released online an educational video about the history of citizen journalism.

The 15-minute documentary Citizen Journalism: From Pamphlet to Blog is a guide to US citizen journalism through the ages - from Thomas Paine in the 18th century to the more modern hows and whys of being an anti-establishment news hound.

The film features interviews with talking heads from the blogging world - including Ethan Zuckerman of Global Voices - discussing, among other things, how newspapers have gone through major cost-cutting exercises as their revenues are leeched by sites like Craigslist.

Axel Springers Second Life

Beim Guardian gelesen:

The weird and wonderful parallel cyber-community that is Second Life is to get its first tabloid. Axel Springer, the publisher of Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper, is poised to launch a weekly paper designed to sate the virtual population's appetite for news and gossip.

News aus dem anderen Leben: Von virtuellen Journalisten in Second Life

Interview mit Adam Reuters, aka Adam Pasick, Chef des virtuellen Reuters-Büro in Second Life:

pasick

Pasick in echt .............................. und sein Avatar (Fotos: Reuters /Second Life)

Q: How do the methods Reuters’ reporters use in the real world, in places like Iraq or on Wall Street, apply in a simulation game?
Adam: It shows that the Reuters editorial principles translate pretty well, whether you are in Bagdad or whether you are in this 3-D virtual world. Being unbiased, being accurate, being fast, all the things that Reuters strives for, they hold true in just about any environment in which you would want to report the news. Obviously, you need to adapt to the fact that you have things like anonymous avatars, but the principles are still the same.

Vollständiges interview im Reuters-Blog. Und die New York Times berichtet auch darüber. Und hier der Guardian.
