Bloggende Professoren? Ja klar! Neustes Beispiel: Jay Rosen, Chair of Journalism Departement an der New York University hat ein sehr interessantes Weblog über Journalismus gestatet: PressThink - Ghost of Democracy in the Media Machine.

Jeff Jarvis kommentiert den Neuzugang in Buzzmachine:
A J-school prof blogging is good news for blogging and for the news business. This means that he gets it, but I already knew that because NYU has been pioneering in the use of weblogs.

Jeff Jarvis nennt in diesem Zusamenhang auch verschiedene Interessante Links:
http://nyublogs.citycynic.com/ (NYC Bloggende Studenten Worldwide). Und die Publikation von online-Studenten: The Blogging Issue. Und verknüpft das Ganze auch gleich mit einer "geschäftlich-praktischen" Anwendung für KMUs:

Now imagine what happens when these blogging students graduate and get jobs in big-media publications and ask their new bosses, "Well, why the hell can't I blog?" And their new bosses say, "Because we need to copy-edit you." And the bloggers laugh. And the bosses get embarrassed and feel old. And that, ladies and gentlemen, that is how blogging will enter the mainstream of media: when the next generation demands it. And then the bosses will discover that with blogs, they can find cheap content and piggyback on the content others create and still serve their readers and -- here's the punchline -- save money, which is something they all desperately need to do.
So it's good news that NYU blogs and that its journalism chair joins in.

Ein interessanter Ansatz,... ;-)
