The View from CoMo: On Disruption and the Act of Journalism | Bubble & Blender - 0 views

    • argronewold
       
      Even though he's at CoMo, I like a couple of this guy's points. Journalists are so concerned about the mediums we are or are not using that we forget about the act of journalism.
  • Journalists have focused on the changes to the business of journalism without fully embracing the changes to the act of journalism.
  • Journalism doesn’t depend on paper. Or broadcast. Or the Web, for that matter. While surely influenced by it, the act of journalism must now be separated from the media that deliver it.

  • Anyone with a smartphone and a Twitter account can participate in the act of journalism. And that, my friends, is a disruption much larger than the exodus of advertising from print pages.  Professional journalists will have no choice but to reinvent their role in the news reporting and delivery value chain.

Quartz - 0 views

  •  
    "Quartz is a digitally native news outlet for the new global economy." I just found this website today. Perhaps others are familiar with it, but it was completely new to me. It has a global focus and the first story I found focused on how newspapers are covering the protests in Bangkok with drones. I didn't know any country had accepted drone journalism. I also didn't know that people are protesting in Bangkok. The layout of the website is very unique. You can just scroll down to move from story to story. It also has a sidebar listing different content. The layout is refreshing and the site has a lot of unique content I hadn't seen before. This is worth checking out.

Language Log » The Gladwell Pivot - 0 views

    • hwhisennand
       
      Makes a good point here. Writing for scientific literature is VERY different from writing for the general public.
  • Gladwell is like a lot of journalists and public intellectuals whose greater commitment is to what is interesting, not necessarily true.
    • hwhisennand
       
      Since when are journalists committing to what is interesting rather than what is true?
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • readers are moved to think and talk about important questions, situations, and events.
  • the evidence may be circumstantial but he doesn’t just make it up.
  • What if in telling one of these stories, the author inadvertently made life much harder for a large group of people who are disadvantaged in some way?
  • the famous Gladwell pivot, whereby he sets up an issue one way and then flips it around.
    • hwhisennand
       
      Does this method ALWAYS work? Is there a time where it wouldn't?
  • an extraordinarily high percentage of entrepreneurs are dyslexic
  • It’s that having dyslexia, and dealing with its consequences, played a causal role in their success.
  • Gladwell seems oblivious to how deeply hurtful the “desirable difficulty” suggestion might be to people who have to deal with being dyslexic, and to the parents who struggle, against institutional resistance, to get their dyslexic children help.
  • His light entertainment is likely to make it harder for many dyslexics to gain recognition of their condition from educators, or the early diagnosis and intervention that is effective for many.
    • hwhisennand
       
      This is definitely something that MUST be considered by all writers. Is there ANYONE ELSE being impacted? How are they being impacted? Think of EVERYONE involved in the story.
  • So here’s an irony: what if Gladwell’s chapter makes it harder for a dyslexic to achieve the levels of success he venerates?
  • it has no bearing on what to do about a dyslexic child.
  • he’s created a meme whose existence doesn’t depend on being true.
  • Gladwell has a vastly larger audience and far more influence on what people think than any scientist who studies dyslexia or advocacy organizations like the International Dyslexia Association.
    • hwhisennand
       
      Important: This is the influence most journalists have on the general public as well.
  • , it’s rational to be concerned that Gladwell’s message of desirable difficulty will have undesirable consequences for the mass of individuals who are dyslexic.
  • Gladwell knows this; he just wants it also known that the condition apparently had remarkably positive effects for some people, and why.
  • Now parents may be faced with yet another response: dyslexia isn’t a developmental disability, it’s desirable.
  • Is this Gladwell’s exact message? No. Will it be taken that way? Yes. Does his book promote shallow thinking about dyslexia? Absolutely. Was Chapter 3 such a compelling, rock-solid story that it had to be told, whatever the consequences? I don’t think so.
    • hwhisennand
       
      Can this be said about any other story you've read recently?
  • Each chapter (or New Yorker article) explores an interesting, usually counterintuitive, idea by means of an engaging narrative, woven out of several types of cloth: personal biographies, telling anecdotes, research studies, expert opinions.
  • not letting facts get in the way of a good story
  • The average reader is not aware of what has been left out and thus can be easily mislead.
  • This is particularly bothersome to scientists whose own first commandment is something like: thou shalt address all relevant evidence, not merely the findings that support the most interesting, attention-getting hypothesis.
