~Will Evolving Forms of Journalism Be an Improvement~
Yes: Preparing for an Age of Participatory News
Participatory meaning that the news is know expressed and viewed not only by professionals but also by amateurs.
The new modality of organizing production: radically decentralized, collaborative, and non proprietary.
The two-tiers that developed participatory news is part of a convergence process: between top-down and bottom-up journalism.
Culture-based participatory news usually emerge from institutions and organizations with a need for public service agenda. There are able to clarify, inform, or gather believers by their platform of local news.
"In each instance a professional media organization (top-down) partners with or deliberately taps into the emerging participatory media culture online (bottom-up) in order to produce some kind of co-creative, commons-based news platform."
Bluffton Today: American
This source is a combination of a free daily newspaper and community news website. This source is a hybrid between professional and amateur participatory news. Its particular goal is to become a part of the daily conversations that people share rather than technological convergence. They want the people of Bluffton to become players in this coverage of news not just users or readers of it. They encourage the participative culture to evolve.
Authentic Life Stories: German
The website Opinio tends to skip over subjects such as economy and politics and focusing its program on everyday living and leisure-time activities. The target group is between 30-39 years of age and don't necessarily read the newspapers anymore.
Former project manager, Torsten Casimi, believes that the motivation behind this publicly authored site is the hopes of having one of their stories printed. The bad part was that at one point they had so many registered users that the site had seem to have no regards for substance.
Provoking Debate: Australian
The On Line Opinion is discussed to be most similar to the US website MediaChannel. It covers news in it's point of view as well as covering mainstream media. This site is composed of staff writers and invited commentators. this site plays an important role in Australian politics. The site provides a middle ground for deliberation, reporting and politics.
"...Bridge the gap between mainstream and alternative, and thus perhaps between (top-down) editorially controlled and (bottom-up) editorially controlled and (bottom-up) open news media, are to some extent perhaps forced to reflect this intermediary position in their editorial practices."
No: Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Communications Technology, and the Internet Hearing on the Future of Journalism, May 6, 2009.
News media is the future of online in which democratization in news gathering will always take place. But by this new era of news online the writer expresses then end to High-end journalism and once it is completely gone it can never be reborn again.
"...the parasite is slowly killing the host."
High-end journalism is describe as a profession of men and women trained to gather, regather, and review substantial information to be publicised. To be a journalist signified a full-time commitment and made a living off of being smart and talented to challenge views and opinions of society.
"...my industry butchered itself and we did so at the behest of Wall Street and the same unfettered, free-market logic that has proved so disastrous for so many American industries."
At journalisms peak the Television became it's largest treat with immediacy.
David Simons believes that yes, it ti harsh to cut down tree's to make a daily newspaper. But if the industry is going onine then there should be a charge for viewing the information. The problem here is that the internet is a found platform for free information. His emphasised that everything costs money in regards to a good news report, including flights, photography, and hiring the best.
"Media lieteracty refers to the ability to analyze a d evaluate the media messages within our society."
