The future of journalism is bright because …”
September 28, 2012
It’s not hard to find people talking about what’s wrong with journalism these days.
But that’s not what we’re focused on here. One thing we believe is that this is a potential golden age of journalism. In all the changes happening to the news industry, we see opportunities. Opportunities for entrepreneurs, for young journalists and for veteran ones. Opportunities to use new tools and old knowledge to create great journalism for the 21st century.
In that vein, we are asking journalism innovators (we call them journovators) to complete this sentence: The future of journalism is bright because __________
We’ll collect their answers here in a running file. Check in when you need a moment of inspiration.
The future of journalism is bright because __________
- “We have the ability to use a lot of new tools to tell narratives.”
– Laura Norton Amico, Homicide Watch D.C. - “We still attract an amazing array of creative people, and people still want to know what’s happening in their communities and the world.
–Steve Buttry, Digital Transformation Editor for Digital First Media and Journal Register Company. - “There’s so many ways to find people to read your stories and to consume all the various products that you’re putting out. It’s a really exciting time to be working and to be publishing, and there’s just so many things that you can do that were never possible before with stories. Pretty much, as big as you can dream, that’s what you can produce. And that’s pretty cool.”
–Jake Naughton, multimedia projects coordinator for The Pulitzer Center. - “The future of journalism is bright because of journalists. Journlists are really smart and really creative thinkers, and we really have evolved with the industry. Whatever happens in journalism is because of the people who power it.”
– Mark S. Luckie, Manager of Journalism and News for Twitter. - “People have a connection to their virtual selves, and everybody is gaming, and gaming’s a great environment to make money, and if we start taking that environment to buiold news storuies, we’re gonna get rich again.”
– Nonny de la Pena, Immersive Journalist.
