Dan Gillmor - "We the Media": Von der Theorie zur Praxis
Dan Gillmor verlässt gemäss eigenen Angaben die San Jose Mercury News um an einem Citizen-Journalism-Projekt mitzuarbeiten. Von der Theorie nun zur Praxis quasi:
I hope to pull together something useful that helps enable -- and demonstrates -- the emerging grassroots journalism that I wrote about in my recent book. Something powerful is happening, it's in the early stages and I have a chance to help figure this out.
I'm not ready to discuss the specifics yet, mainly because I have many more ideas than I could possibly try to put into practice at this point -- and we're early in the process of working out the venture's actual form.
Keep in mind that this project is now in what's known as the seed stage. It's not an operating entity yet, though I expect it will be. But we're some time away from that, with many issues to resolve in the meantime.
A friend who knew about this ahead of time asked the question I'm sure some others will ask: "Are you nuts?" I hope not. Of course, I amleaving one of the best gigs in journalism. The Merc has been incredibly good to me. There are so many talented and good-hearted folks here.
I hate the idea of leaving. But I'd hate not trying this even more.
Obviously, there will be much more to say in the days and weeks ahead...
Herzliche Gratulation ! Man darf gespannt sein.
