Apropos Blogging und online-News ... : Lessons von Blogs
Wie könnten online-News resp. Publikationen und Print-Produkte voneinander profitieren? Der Autor der washingtonpost.com's White House Briefing column und deputy editor von niemanwatchdog.org, Dan Froomkin, bricht eine Lanze für eine "neue Diskussionsrunde" zwischen Print und Online-Vertreterinnen und Vertretern. Beide könnten davon nur profitieren:
We need to aggressively and visibly use the best tools of print and Web journalism. Our best, most important work should feature compelling narratives, visual story-telling, interaction with the authors and newsmakers, and Web tools that encourage and harness citizen action. Don't just put a big serious thing out there in big fat text parts (with a few links and maybe a poorly captioned photo gallery) and expect to make a splash online.
oder z.B. Blogs:
What is blogging? A million different things. But what's undeniable is that the various tools used by the blogging community are brilliantly evolved for the medium -- and they work. The fact that a lot of people use these tools to generate badly spelled, overly personal, non-journalistic, unedited pap should not get in the way of us embracing blog tools and philosophy.
Consider if you were starting a "newspaper" today. Wouldn't you want to facilitate exchanges with readers? Wouldn't you want to encourage your readers to find out more than what you can publish? Wouldn't you want to make it easier for them to take action? Wouldn't you want to define and create a community? Wouldn't you want to make your readers feel important?
Blog tools give you all that -- not to mention the ability to easily and quickly post something you just found out about. (What could be more journalistic?)
Some reporters have already embraced blogs, with great success, and that trend should be encouraged. But that's just the start.
