4. Transformation of journalism
“In the 20th Century making the news
was almost entirely the province of
journalists… The economics of
publishing and broadcasting created
large, arrogant institutions – call it Big
Media…
Big media … treated the news as a
lecture. We told you what the news
was…. Tomorrow’s news reporting and
production will be more of a
conversation, or a seminar…” (2004:
xiii)

6. Blogging
“blogging” takes into account the collaborative
nature of journalism now: professionals and
amateurs working together to get the real
story, linking to each other across brands and old
boundaries to share
facts, questions, answers, ideas, perspectives. It
recognizes the complex relationships that will
make news. And it focuses on the process more
than the product.
– Jeff Jarvis, Journalism professor, blogger & writer

7. Blogging
The idea that traditional journalism opens itself up to
the public. It shares the production process from
start to finish. It uses new technologies to include the
citizen in every aspect of news-gathering, production
and publication. It means using a lot of jargon like
crowd-sourcing, social networking, wikis and
Twittering. Many of these techniques build on existing
journalism methods and are already out there. But it
will also require a participatory revolution in the way
we make the news.
– Charlie Beckett, Director of Polis, at the London School of
Economics; writer; former broadcast editor at BBC, ITN &
C4

responsability or sources
