Huge Shift: The Future of News...
Image by MyEyeSees
Investigative News, Democracy and the Economy...The New News System...Today's headlines dominate: Fox Nation debuts. But this isn't what should be the biggest media news. Buried on Huffington Post's Media page is the announcement by Arianna Huffington of her idea for the future of the news, is for privately funded non-profit investigative journalism that will keep democracy alive as the future of the news media, as we have known it, is in steep decline, especially in this economy. Her first focus for this project: The Economy.
Clay Shirkey this month kicked off his idea of the News Problem Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable which led to NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen to put out a big follow-up think piece on the future of news with links (see my post here for links and stats on the decline of advertising for the news business). Jay Rosen announces today that he will have a major role in this new effort announced by HuffPo.
Also today the Washington Post announces major changes to the business news coverage. At washingtonpost.com/business, The Post is launching a new Economy & Business section, featuring breaking news and enterprise on the economic crisis, columnists, blogs, and expanded market data. And... All of our economic and business coverage will now appear in the A-section. We are introducing a daily Washington Business page (today, A12), which replaces the weekly section. Washington Business will be part of our Economy & Business coverage in the A-section Tuesday through Saturday, which includes a new stock-data page to replace our daily stock-price listings. Readers wanting up-to-the-minute quotes on stock prices and other investing tools can find that information at washingtonpost.com/markets.
