It's worth noting21 Sep 2009 06:04 am
While catching up on my RSS feeds over the weekend, I found several pieces that were interesting enough to share. So here’s a quick roundup of some highlights from last week in the world of journalism and technology…
- Citizen reporting with an iPhone and a direct connection to city hall got plenty of attention last week at the Techcrunch 50. It’s crowdcoursed watchdog reporting – without a news organization.
http://www.citysourced.com/ - Jason Fry offers reactions to Nieman’s Social-Media Report in two parts. If you don’t have time (yet) to read the excellent report, Fry’s overview and analysis is worth a look. http://reinventingthenewsroom.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/reactions-to-niemans-social-media-report/
- Seth Lewis has an interesting assignment for his University of Texas Journalism class: he’s making them all big-time media consultants and challenging them to find some new solutions for business models that will work in the digital age.
http://writingforonline.wordpress.com/ - Oxford University’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism released a report finding citizen journalism will remain part of changing news models.
