6. “ In what ways is the internet changing the fundamental values of journalism?” Loosening standards/less carefulness 45% Allowing others to have a voice (good/bad) 31% Emphasis on speed (good/bad) 25% [Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism 2009 State of the News Media study]
9. “ [O]n a major unfolding story there is a case also for simply monitoring, selecting and passing on the information we are getting as quickly as we can, on the basis that many people will want to know what we know and what we are still finding out, as soon as we can tell them.” [Steve Herrmann, editor, BBC News website]
12. Threat to long-form journalism? “ While sites like Twitter ask users to define their world in 140 characters or less, and speed – above accuracy or content – is the competitive force fuelling online news outlets, some contextual, interpretive and analytical modes of journalism are fading away. “ By cutting immersive journalism in favour of less expensive, superficial forms, the newspaper industry risks losing everything that has made it a valuable medium for 300 years.” [OJR report, Emily Henry, June 2009]
