I don\u2019t think that people don\u2019t want to learn to use this stuff, I think that they need to be approached so that they themselves are motivated to want to use\u2026. Whenever you talk about something, I immediately want to try out whatever that is\u2026 It requires somebody like him or somebody similar to come in and make that stuff accessible and also investing in the right technology. You cannot send people out with little Olympus 300 recorders and expect that they\u2019re going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n16:55 \u2013 Carl Martino I don\u2019t think that the Internet is necessarily a different medium like radio or like television where it\u2019s just a question of publishing content in a different format that fits the medium. Tim O\u2019Reilly coined this the architecture of participation before he coined the term Web 2.0 and he used it in regard to software in the piece in regard to the internet in I think back in 2003. That\u2019s what the internet really is and what it represents it\u2019s a participatory environment and the people that are using that environment have an expectation to participate. So when information is posted to the internet its not information that is frozen in time, its alive and people expect some level of opportunity to work with that information beyond just reading or interacting with it, but maybe molding it and reusing it in some other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18:00 \u2013 Martino That\u2019s where news media, in my opinion, needs to invest in, is in tools that enable editors to actually interact, not with the audience because the audience isn\u2019t the audience anymore, but interact with their participant. People who are reading and wanting to participate in the news experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
33:57 \u2013 Wendy Warren The Daily news just hosted a forum on Casinos in Philedlphia, we\u2019re about to get slot parlors, and it\u2019s a terrible idea, its just going to look awful\u2026. We hosted a forum on this and covered it, but our coverage was very minimal compared to what the independent media did. We invited a lot of the local bloggers, we invited a lot of local independent media. We sponsored the event, everybody covered it then everybody linked to everybody\u2019s coverage and commented on each others coverage and it was just amazing. (34:20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martino \u2013 36:00 Everyday you hear this journalists vs. bloggers discussion occurring when that discussion shouldn\u2019t\u2026 it\u2019s a silly and distracting argument between two groups of people that aren\u2019t as dissimilar as people want to think, and want to do their best to serve their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
49:55 \u2013 Webb My point is this idea of pushing content out and getting stuff back, I mean, that\u2019s what we\u2019re fundamentally talking about. Unfortunately we\u2019re all locked into this concept that blogging and podcasting like there\u2019s nothing else you can do with technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
51:00 – Warren We are doing 2 things at the same time: we are dreaming of a future that does not exist at the same time that we\u2019re practicing the reality that we\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1:20:35 \u2013 Amy Webb But it\u2019s the message, not the medium. We need to start thinking beyond a separation between what is newspaper, what is magazine, what is television. We need to think of ourselves as information brokers. \u2026.. is what matters. (120:57)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
