I think the term Journalism is misapplied here. Journalism (the collecting, editing and presenting of news) is going to be fine.
Traditional publishing is being shaken up but thats been heralded for some time. The iPad is just another nail in a coffin that's 90% done.
I have picked my nit for the day, now I need more coffee.
- bradfordcross 16y agoIf you read carefully, you can see that I am not saying that journalism or publishing are dead. I am saying that the attempt to grasp at the model of the past is dead. I don't agree that the iPad is a nail in the coffin. IMO, its impact on the future of journalism and publishing is vastly overestimated.
- jared314 16y agoWhy does the title not reflect that? Marketing copy?
- bradfordcross 16y agoNo, a much more practical reason. I'm not so good at coming up with titles. =)
- mattrepl 16y agoIt's indirect. If publishers have difficulty reaching their audience, so do journalists.
- sandee 16y agoYes. It has been pointed our many times that, Publishing which involves averagely written news item targeting mass market is gone past the traditional model. That is where aggregators and social media platform triumps now. However , the model of high-end journalism is already happening. Good research and analysis would always be in short supply and small focused teams who do that are already making gains. There is no reason why big companies cannot replicate this.
