FUTURE: As Blogs and Citizen Journalism Grow,
Where's the News?
Poynter Online - As Blogs and Citizen Journalism Grow,
Where's the News?
At the Poynter Institute website, ex-Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Rick Edmonds provides a thorough overview of the the rise of news-oriented blogs and how the mainstream media is reacting to them. The essay includes many useful links to other resources. A sidebar by for San Francisco Examiner editor Steve Outing examines whether local-news websites will find a way to support the paying of citizens to do reporting -- something which Outing forecast will be necessary to the survival of the new genre.
