Writer needed to declare his obvious bias towards social media. His bio at end of piece reads, “Josh Auerbach is senior vice president at betaworks, a media company focused on the real-time web and social distribution of content.” My conclusion is that we are in a Zen Buddhist “don’t-know” moment. And anyone who claims to “know” what’s in store is not paying close enough attention. I see a hybrid of all existing media, but that’s about it. I can’t see beyond that. And, historically, “so-called “old media have shown an amazing ability to adapt to release of new media, so tales of their demise may be premature in the extreme.

One of the challenges has been proven since Wikipedia information often has produced conflicts, to abide by professional journalism.
The point made is very important, but likewise interesting is if social media will run down those constraints over the time.

a personal anecdote.

I’m baffled that you can write about all of this without addressing a core tenet of historical news gathering and distribution — the professional journalist.

No matter how good a writer you are, or even how compelling your content might be, if your facts are incorrect, if your thinking is incomplete, and your sources are unverified, then you are most emphatically not socializing the “news”…you are –in essence– sharing gossip.

The average person out there, like myself, has no intimage knowledge of the political machine or corporate machinations or anything else that happends outside their own personal sphere. And for those things that DO happen inside one’s personal space, how likely is it that you are relating the information in an objective manner.

This is a quandry for me personally. I love the NY Times, but I cancelled my subscription long ago. Nor do I watch network news programs. LIke most people, I gather “news” from the internet. The only difference is that I’m old enough and have enough life experience to recognize that unfiltered information is often speculative and incorrect.

I despair of the idea that “news” reporters will go “in and out of business” quickly. To me that sounds like a lack of accountability and huge potential for manipulation. Not that news corporations are perfect or unbiased, of course. But at least under the old model you had some notion that the people in charge knew what they were talking about.

Just one quick “for instance”…when my husband and I had our wedding announcement in the NY Times, the reporter in charge required us to be able to verify every data point we provided him, and he left out any information that couldn’t be corroborated.

You think they do that on Youtube, Yelp, or Google? I don’t think so!
