MediaShift Idea Lab . Saving Journalism, One Idea at a Time | PBS
We've become accustomed to a media world dominated by monopolies and oligopolies. So we -- and especially the paid journalists who remain in the craft -- tend to imagine that just a few big institutions will rise from the sad rubble of the journalism business.

That's not where it's going, at least not anytime soon. We're heading into an incredibly messy but also wonderful period of innovation and experimentation that combines technology and people and pushes great and outlandish ideas into the real world. The result will a huge number of failures but also a large number of successes.

Musematic » ROFL…just read this facebook post from my friend Becca
Becca: Hey, I just saw this thing on the television, it’s called the “news” or something like that-these people sit there and read stuff that’s been on the internet for days already. Has anyone seen this? I hear they talk about the weather too, but I left before finding out.

Save journalism? Beats us, panel says - Patrick Gavin - POLITICO.com

Reuters Editors » Blog Archive » Rethinking rights, accreditation, and journalism itself in the age of Twitter | Blogs |
But the point, I hope, is clear.
The old means of control don’t work.
The old categories don’t work.
The old ways of thinking won’t work.
We all need to come to terms with that.

Fundamentally, the old media won’t control news dissemination in the future. And organisations can’t control access using old forms of accreditation any more.

Newspapers started small, cheap and with different standards | Howard Owens
For more than a decade, we expected to build online news organizations that could support a super structure of the modern newspaper newsroom -- with the all the reporters and editors and big story packages (look at all the emphasis we put on big Flash multimedia productions) and that we could keep doing journalism just the way we always did it.

While we bemoaned shovelware (taking the same exact print story and repurposing it for the Web), we took little time to really examine what might might be different about online publishing that should change the way news is gathered and presented.

What Happens When Your Local Paper Goes Online-Only? It Loses Most of Its Staff | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD
I’ve been asking Mark Josephson that question for months, and now he has an answer: Josephson, the CEO of local news platform Outside.in, figures the local, online-only newspaper of tomorrow, for a decent-sized city, will have a staff of 20 people. That’s 20 people, period. Perhaps 6 of them will be “news gatherers.”

Josephson was kind enough to model his future newspaper in a spreadsheet for me, and I’ll get to that in a minute.

Program for the Future Conference — Program for the Future
The 1968 DemoEngelbart dreamed of technology and tools that increased our Collective Intelligence and gave us a stunning example of how it works. Now it's up to us to take up the challenge.

Deuzeblog: The People Formerly Known as the Employers
So what we see happening in the context of todays new media ecology and the emerging global creative economy is power slowly but surely slipping away from those who we rely on for our entertainment (ex.: the recent writers' and actor's labor disputes in Canada and the US), our advertising (ex.: the widely reported power shift occuring in agencies from creative towards account managers, media planners, and digital consultants), and - perhaps most disturbingly, our news.

Mark Smolinski: Detect Epidemics Before They Start
Back in May 1993, as a medical resident at the University of Arizona, Mark Smolinski volunteered for a shift with the state's Department of Health. Right after he started, Arizona and neighboring states were struck by a deadly outbreak of an unidentified respiratory illness. The young doctor found himself face-to-face with an emerging epidemic, part of a team that spent sleepless months struggling to contain the outbreak. "I was going from hospital to hospital trying to determine the patients' exposures," he recalls of his harrowing first assignment. "Almost all the cases were under the age of 30, and it had a very high mortality rate."

From Shifting to Warping - Our Future Connected to the "One" Machine - Blog on the Side - Darlene Fichter
Kevin Kelly talks about the first 5000 days of the Internet (yep it's only 5000 days old) and then looks at head 5000 days. He points out that we thought the Internet was going to be TV but only better at first. When we look at ahead 5000 days, it's going to be something much more and very different from today's Internet, only better. (Creative Commons licensed)

The Future of the Desktop - ReadWriteWeb
Instead we are now struggling to cope with a different problem - the problem of filtering for what is really important or relevant now and in the near-future. With limited time and attention, we have to be careful what we look for and what we pay attention to. This is the mindset of the daytrader. Bet wrong and you could end up wasting your precious resources, bet right and you could find the motherlode before the rest of the world and gain valuable advantages by being first. Daytraders are focused on discovering and keeping track of trends. It's a very different focus and activity from being a librarian, and it's what we are all moving towards.

Edge: ENGINEERS' DREAMS By George Dyson
As he surveyed the Google Archipelago, Ed was reminded of some handwritten notes that Julian Bigelow had showed him, summarizing a conversation between Stan Ulam and John von Neumann on a bench in Central Park in early November 1952. Ulam and von Neumann had met in secret to discuss the 10-megaton Mike shot, whose detonation at Eniwetok on November 1 would be kept embargoed from the public until 1953. Mike ushered in not only the age of thermonuclear weapons but the age of digital computers, confirming the inaugural calculation that had run on the Princeton machine for a full six weeks. The conversation soon turned from the end of one world to the dawning of the next.

Video of Jay Rosen talking about "thousands of reporters on one story"
It's a lot easier to have the concept that your readers know more than you do than it is to actually put that into practice. There is no formula for doing it yet, can't point to someone who uses social network reporting to do their beat every day. In most news rooms, reporters are under a great deal of pressure to produce more than ever.
