Journalismus 2.0

Justin Smith darüber, wie sich Printmedien zukünftig verhalten sollten (schon etwas älter).

In the old world, the local newspaper played the role of content producer (by employing a team of writers), organizer (by employing a team of editors), and aggregator (by subscribing to wire services and selecting articles to reprint). As a consumer you essentially subscribed to a team of writers and editors who created and packaged a product for you daily.

However, in the “2.0” world, the role of editor is becoming much less clear: tagging and search engines have dramatically decreased the cost of organizing and aggregating content, and as a consumer I am empowered subscribe to keyword feeds that bring me the content I want automatically from a pool of millions of authors.
