A Story Better Told in Print - oder was?
Im Weblog PJNet ist ein sehr interessanter Offener Brief von Leonard Witt zu Handen von David Carr, Media Critic der the New York Times zu lesen:
After I read your defense of newspapers in The New York Times, I turned to the Wall Street Journal story saying that Yahoo "signed nine new columnists to write for its Yahoo Finance site and plans to hire as many as 30."
Now compare that to last week, during which there were so many layoffs at major newspapers that Steve Lovelady of the Columbia Journalism Review would write:
Iit's starting to feel as if the bow of the ship is slipping beneath the water.
You would write:
Newspapers are a civic good, especially right now, but they cannot function as a nonprofit. Make all the jokes you want about dead trees, a printed artifact that people pay to read and advertise in is an absolute necessity.
Maybe, but then why does your own company The New York Times pay $410 million for About.com, and later announce pending layoffs of some 45 folks in its flagship's newsroom.
You see David, you might hope for the preeminence of the newspaper, and so might I, but your bosses are putting their money elsewhere. Maybe it is time for you and critics like you to start looking to the future.

Und wie sieht es bei uns aus - doch ähnlich, oder...?
Cyberwriter - 28. Sep, 17:28
Dass die Printis den Print verteidigen?
meckermann - 28. Sep, 18:04
Nein, dass wir bald keine Printis mehr haben werden, wenn das so weiter geht...

.. nicht anders. Es naht der "Content Manager" Print und Online und bewegte Bilder/Multimedia". Wieviele davon dann letztlich noch eine journalistische Ausbildung genossen haben, möchte ich gar nicht wissen.
