"News without newspapers" may end up saving journalism.
Here is an article
from the WSJ Opinion Journal (which I tend not to read because of its
constant rightest shrillness) that has caught my attention. I was
led to it through my regular morning review of blogdex.
Next, is this modified (to include a learning function) sense, interpret, decide, and act loop (SIDAL).
The article and the image to the left come together in the following way.
News will be increasingly made available through the non-MSM. There will be less reliance on the MSM reporters and editors to sense, interpret, decide, and act in bringing to the attention of the public news that they is then resensed, reinterpreted, etc.
The upside is that MSM will have less of a roll in shaping public behavior. The downside is that the public will need to become increasingly competent in SIDAL.
Democracy as it is meant to be?
And how does this sea change affect how we teach and train the public?
