This book describes a shift
in the way news evolves
and in the roles of the players:
journalists, newsmakers and the former audience.
Generally the shift is characterized
by a breakdown in the roles of the players
and by a more participatory form of journalism.
This shift is largely driven by technologies
that encourage participation such as
blogs, mailing lists, and wikis.
The author does a very good job
of telling us:
(1) how this shift came about,
(2) what some of the opportunities
and challenges are and
(3) where he thinks all this is headed.
If you care about
the direction journalism is moving,
this would be a very good book to read.
For more detail, you could check out
my somewhat longer review. |
