Emerging Technologies
Future of Innovation Journalism
Fascinating discussion on where the world of journalism is going. Complete discussion is available on the Google Video website. It’s amazing to observe how these deep throated discussions are influenced by technologies developed by twenty something entrepreneurs. Blogger.com, Digg, MySpace are leading example of projects which are setting new agenda for the media industry.
Need any more proof that these conventional industry heads are running downhill. They didn’t care to invite any representatives from the emerging media technology companies. If discussion is on future of innovative journalism then they should invite future audience and future decision makers. Nobody below 30 and these folks are talking about the future of journalism?
Go ahead and enjoy the discussion as there are lot of very interesting points -
Medium is irrelevant (Dan Gilmor) , What is an act of journalism? , Industry needs to adjust their attitude (Tony Perkins) , Efficient fragmentation of viewpoints ,
Destruction of common experience , Some of the ads are funnier than the show itself (Vint Cerf) , Is active contribution to Wikipedia an act of journalism or vandalism? (Vint Cerf) , Role of innovation journalist? (Vint Cerf - though I didnt catch the definition of innovation journalist) , New means of expression will show up (with a dire potential that a total illiterate can make a quality 2hour movie in near future).
I think this new means of expression will be a dominant theme in coming days. We already see signs of that in YouTube.
Also noticed an interesting exchange between Vint Cerf and the PC magazine editor. Editor was sharing experience related to PC Magazine’s migration to XML format from the Word document based media repositories. Reacting to this Vint Cerf emphasized the importance of that migration when clubbed with the emerging geographical indexing. He mentioned Gallop’s 100 odd years of survey database in this context.
Gallop is the kind of company I predicted Google to buy. Google must buy Gallop if they have to get closer to their goal.
The Gallup Organization has designed and engineered the world\’s first Web storage system containing millions of records of what people have thought over the last 65 year
Anyways lot of food for thought in that free video. Go ahead enjoy it.
