    Lees dit: Zeitgeist: Why Blogging v. Traditional Journalism is More than That. Een uitermate relevant artikel, dat me overigens werd getipt via, hoe kan het ook anders, Twitter (dank @edial). Nog meer: Seth Godin over de Times, ReadWriteWeb over hoe webpagina’s worden gelezen en een leuk verhaal over een uitgever die van print naar online ging. N.B. alles wat ik hier blog is gelijk keihard tentamenstof, je weet toch!

    (updated) Zeitgeist: Why Blogging v. Traditional Journalism is More than That

    How do you explain New Media to Old Media? The past couple of days have been about the whole blogging v. traditional journalism bit (well that, and the whole MSFT+YHOO merger break down). Fellow bloggers like @jester1225 in “Confessions of a ‘New Media’ Heretic (or, the jester-in-exile throws yet another gauntlet before the MSM ‘priest caste’),” J in “Thoughts on blogging v. traditional journalism,” DJB in Talk About Kettles Calling Pots Black are all must read posts on blogging v. traditional journalism. @digitalfilipino’s tweet: “Blog readers are not fools. They discern, can detect bullshit, and challenge a blogger’s point of view. Best, they can decide not to read u,” sums it all up really. As I agree with their points of view, I must posit that this is more than just about blogging v. traditional journalism. This is about misconceptions about New Media vis-a-vis Old Media. The Internet and one of its side effects— New Media is disruptive. It whacks the old paradigm of traditionalists and sends it spiraling in all sorts of direction. This is our 21st century equivalent of what the printing press did, way back when. It is like saying the world is round and not flat. Whether you are a Music mogul, Hollywood-type, or in the business of news, even novelists, The Internet and New Media has turned your world upside down. That scares people. This post is really long with lots of embedded video and since it isn’t really about social commentary, you can read more at my blog.
