Finally One Example of Collaborative Journalism (Conversation Agent) - 0 views

  •  
    How will this start changing the game? Josh Korr of Publishing 2.0 reports that about a week ago, four journalists from Washington state began reporting a major local story in collaboration with each other on Twitter. Writes Korr:Those four journalists weren't in the same newsroom. In fact, they all work for different media companies. And here's the best part: Some of them have never even met in person.Could journalists have discovered the same thing we have also been exploring collectively online? That collaboration strengthens a network and draws more readers, not less. I also agree with Korr that news organizations need to start investing in smart journalists who get the power of cooperation. To summarize what these fine professionals did: Acted in real time and focused on the reporting of the events - in line with the Twitter culture of immediacy as well as a sense of urgency for their readers at the respective mastheads Collaborated with each other to cover the story as it was unfolding instead of worrying about the credit - imagine the first cross-news organization team that wins a Pulitzer, now wouldn't that be news? Provided higher quality news than just one person doing the reporting. There was some skepticism in the comments to Korr's post. Maybe this is not the first time journalists network for a news story. This collaboration so open on Twitter seems quite novel to me.I know some of my readers are journalists or are studying journalism. What possibilities do you see...

Mumbai-Bombay, congrès du PS, Twitter... : le live, l'arme fatale du particip... - 0 views

    [Demain tous journalistes ?] "L'objectif, ici, n'est pas de produire une information low-cost sans journalistes, mais de travailler intelligemment dans le cadre d'une info en réseau. Produire une info plus pertinente par rapport aux attentes des lecteurs: hyper réactive, moins conventionnelle dans ses choix, plus "live", plus libre, avec plus de ton, de conversation, beaucoup d'émotion. Je me souviens du live de la nuit électorale américaine, pendant le discours d'Obama, un posteur a écrit: "je suis en train de pleurer". En relisant le live le lendemain, on avait non seulement une idée de ce qui s'était passé, mais aussi de l'émotion qui a saisi la France cette nuit là… D'aucuns répondront qu'il ne s'agit que de "veille d'info". Mais sur Internet, le journalisme de liens (qui trie et donne du sens) est une vraie fonction d'info. Une fonction journalistique, qui peut être assumée par des non-journalistes (le journalisme est alors vu comme une fonction, non plus comme un métier). On peut être non journaliste et excellent lecteur et decrypteur d'info. D'ailleurs, journaliste ou pas journaliste, peu importe. C'est la force du réseau qui constitue la richesse du live "participatif" " (...)

Twitter CEO sees journalists as curators of tweets - 3 views

  •  
    "These little bits of information" are complementary to what journalists do. Twitter is working on relevancy and heping people find what is more relevant to them, says Williams, but sees a role for journalists in helping audiences sifting the signal from the noise. He talks about journalists' role as curating the messages on Twitter, with the Huffington Post being a leader in this area. But Williams also says the company wants to build more trust and authenticity into Twitter. The company is working on reputation systems, though this is still at its nascent phase.

Tips on Facebook, crowd sourcing and Twitter for journalists « Save the Media - 0 views

  • Crowd sourcing: If you have no idea what crowd sourcing is or how it could work for journalists, you must read this post on Beat Blogging. The post gives simple examples where journalists are asking readers for story ideas or for their opinions. For example, the post showcases a Sacramento Bee reporter using his blog to crowd source opinions on what it’s like to be back after being furloughed because of California state budget constraints. We used to just call this good reporting.
  • Tweeting news: If you’re skeptical of the value of Twitter to news organizations, read this post. It explains how the news of the fatal plane crash this week in Buffalo spread through Twitter with frequent updates. Twitter gives a blow by blow witness description of the crash that you couldn’t get from a traditional news source until much later. Why wouldn’t newspapers want to be able to break news in this immediate way?

    Another example of mainstream media joining the Twitter promotion bandwagon. Clearly the journalist does not understand the concept fully.

    [Demain tous journalistes ?] "Je profite de la lecture d'un post très intéressant sur la fameuse rumeur qui a couru sur Twitter durant les événements de Mumbai (Bombay) pour répondre aux commentaires générés par mon dernier billet sur le sujet.
