George Brock discusses how the concept of "fast food news" is based on outdated assumptions about how news is consumed on mobile devices. While early mobile news focused on small snippets of information for small screens, mobile devices like tablets now allow for in-depth articles through larger screens. Brock argues the larger issue is the speed of the news cycle, not brevity of content. Despite technological changes, the core tasks of journalism - verification, sense-making, witness, and investigation - remain important. Journalism must find a business model that supports these tasks in a mobile, connected world.
E-COMMERCE BUSINESS MODELS IN THE CONTEXT OF WEB 3.0 PARADIGMijait
Web 3.0 promises to have a significant effect in users and businesses. It will change how people work and
play, how companies use information to market and sell their products, as well as operate their businesses.
The basic shift occurring in Web 3.0 is from information-centric to knowledge-centric patterns of
computing. Web 3.0 will enable people and machines to connect, evolve, share and use knowledge on an
unprecedented scale and in new ways that make our experience of the Internet better. Additionally,
semantic technologies have the potential to drive significant improvements in capabilities and life cycle
economics through cost reductions, improved efficiencies, enhanced effectiveness, and new functionalities
that were not possible or economically feasible before. In this paper we look to the semantic web and Web
3.0 technologies as enablers for the creation of value and appearance of new business models. For that, we
analyze the role and impact of Web 3.0 in business and we identify nine potential business models, based in
direct and undirected revenue sources, which have emerged with the appearance of semantic web
technologies.
Privacy, Transparency and Trust in a Digital Worldbetterplace lab
Data privacy in the social sector – Who cares? What about?
Data has become ubiquitous. The world is rapidly digitising, and in our professional and private lives, more and more of our activities leave behind a trail of data.
For the social sector this means great opportunities – in the 2013 Trendreport we looked at the uses of "Big Data for Good". But the risks of data mining are also coming into sharper focus, not least since the Wikileaks revelations in 2013. It's clear that in the next few years, those working in the social sector all over the world will have to give a lot of thought to issues of data privacy and transparency.
What's less clear is what they think about these issues today. Does the need to protect beneficiaries' data even occur to an NGO in Brazil? How does a German foundation understand "transparency", and how does this differ from a Chinese foundation? Do Indonesian activists worry more about government surveillance or corporate data mining?
This 40-page report, produced by the betterplace lab and enabled by Mozilla, is based on research conducted during Lab Around the World in China, Brazil, India, Indonesia and Germany. There we conducted interviews with people working in the social sector about their attitudes and behaviour around matters of data privacy, transparency and trust.

Lee Rainie will discuss the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project’s latest research on how people get, share and create information in the digital age. Rainie will also discuss the Project’s specific findings on the rise of e-patients, as well as how access to health and medical materials continues to evolve.
Value proposition of open government data - presentation to International Open Government Data Conference by Alexander Howard, Government 2.0 Correspondent, O'Reilly Media
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet Project, will describe the new media ecology and how “networked individuals” get, share and create information. This new environment has disrupted the old models of public relations and requires a new understanding of how information is passed through social media and networks and how influence is reconfigured when everyone is a publisher and a broadcaster.

What Is the Elephant in the Digital Room?
Any history of the past three decades will give prominent, if not preeminent,
attention to the emergence of the Internet and the broader digital revolu-
tion. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, signs point to its being
a globally defining feature of human civilization going forward, until it even-
tually becomes so natural, so much a part of the social central nervous sys-
tem, as to defy recognition as something new or distinct to our being, like
speech itself.
To some extent, the revolution can be chronicled in the sheer amount
of information being generated and shared. In 1989, which seems like a
century ago, Richard Saul Wurman wrote of “information anxiety” created
by overload because there were a thousand books published every day world-
wide and nearly ten thousand periodicals then being published in the united
States.1 Google’s Eric Schmidt estimates that if one digitally recorded all
extant human cultural artifacts and information created from the dawn of
time until 2003, one would need 5 billion gigabytes of storage space. by
2010 people created that much data every two days.2 by 2012 the amount of
video being uploaded to youTube had doubled since 2010, to the equivalent
of 180,000 feature-length movies per week.3 Put another way, in less than
a week, youTube generates more content than all the films and television
programs hollywood has produced in its entire history.
Another way to grasp the digital revolution is by the amount of time
people immerse themselves in media. An extensive 2009 study found that
most Americans, regardless of their age, spend at least eight and a half hours
per day looking at a television, computer screen, or mobile phone screen,
frequently using two or three screens simultaneously.4 Another 2009 study,
by the Global Information Industry Center, determined that the average
2 digital disconnect
American consumes “information” for 11.4 hours per day, up from 7.4 hours
in 1980.5 A 2011 study of twenty thousand schoolchildren throughout Mas-
sachusetts determined that 20 percent of third graders had cell phones and
over 90 percent were going online. Forty percent of fifth graders and nearly
85 percent of middle schoolers had cell phones, generally smartphones with
Internet access.6 The Internet has long since stopped being optional.
In the united States, Europe, and much of the rest of the world, one need
not have a teenage child to understand that “social networks have become
ubiquitous, necessary, and addictive.” 7 To the students I teach, life without
mobile Internet access is unthinkable. When I describe my college years in
the early 1970s, they have trouble grasping how people managed to com-
municate, how anything could get done, how limited the options seemed to
be, how life could even be led. It would be akin to my great-grandparents
from 1860 Nova Scotia or eastern Kentucky returning to describe their ...

The New Internet: When Everything Becomes SmartJeeni
The New Internet is the Internet of Things (IoT). In a few years, people and devices will become almost indivisible entities. This article explains what it means for the economy, the society and our lives.
A presentation to the World Editor Forum in Berlin in October 2013 on one of themes of the author's book (Out of Print: Newspapers, Journalism and the Business of News in the Digital Age) looking at the difference between innovation and experiment
1. WAN-IFRA 9th International Newsroom SummitFast food news? George Brock Professor and Head of Journalism City University London London September 2010
2. “Finger food news” Sounds unappetising, no? But it’s based on old assumption… …about two-dimensional space “Fast” = 2 issues Small screens, not many words Speed of news cycle Second of these is the larger issue for journalism “Mobile” is now wireless tablets
3.
4. What’s the context? At the start of overlapping waves of change Mobile adoption rate x8 broadband Google: do mobile apps first Info explosion: 5 exabytes every 2 days Windows into a single info cloud? Journalism decoupled from distribution Where are you on the books-to-instantaneous scale?
5. Content, not hardware But hardware does influence content Finding new grammar online Connections and “mutualisation” Downward in text but through links Information being processed in news ways e.g. GaonKiAwaaz, Uttar Pradesh
6.
7. Things to hold on to Data, information, journalism are not the same In connected, media-rich world, journalism has 4 core tasks: Verification Sense-making Witness Investigation Challenge is finding business model for these
8. Things I haven’t talked about Will people pay? (Increasingly, yes) Is the web dead, killed by apps? (Unlikely) What’s technical definition of mobile? (It’ll work itself out) Geolocation (transformative in local)
9. Enriching the “finger food” Are we going to see…re-intermediation? Rewiring newsrooms e.g. Weigel + Wise Filters (a.k.a. “editors”) still matter Importance of words Links: journalism as a encyclopaedia on the move Assembling jigsaws
10. Takeaways Hardware does shape content…to a degree Mobile is not bite-sized anymore Switch on your inner anthropologist In the end, it will be content that counts Most important dimension is trust
