Online Journalism and the Future of Newspapers
Online-Chef der Spokesman Review Ken Sands äussert sich in einem Interview über die Zukunft der Zeitungen, die Rolle von online-Journalismus ,....und die Rolle von Blogs:
I love newspapers, and that's why I'm on the APME board. That board is filled primarily with -- sorry, pals -- middle-aged print publication managers who don't seem to know yet what to make of online journalism. Many of them, individually, seem so stressed trying to put out a quality print product in tough economic times that they don't think much about the Web.
I don't intend to be too critical of print editors. In truth, Web editors at many newspapers are in silos away from the print operation and frustratingly distant from print editors who want to collaborate with the Web. My goal is to help both print and online editors understand how much they need each other, and to argue for the elimination of Web silos. In other words, I hope to advance both print AND online journalism by advocating for better collaboration. I know that's a tall order, but you might as well aim high!
I do believe the "amateur" warbloggers showed us professional journalists the power of numbers on the Web. That is, if an army of "reporters" scour the Web to "aggregate" the news, why can't we use our local readers to help us aggregate the news of our communities? How about an army of local bloggers?
The best of their work might even show up in print! At the very least, by tapping into readers as sources, we will be in better touch with our communities and will get better stories.
It might seem ridiculous now, but the electronic edition will eventually become the center of the newsroom universe, with print and television the orbiting planets." Just don't tell my buddies at APME ... they might have coronaries.
....dem ist absolut nichts hinzuzufügen !
