Jeff Jarvis diskutiert mit Dave Winer welche Funktionen des Journalismus über das Ende der news industry hinaus bewahrt werden können/müssen. Lesenswert auch Winers Antwort in den Kommentaren. Jarvis: "I agree with Dave that the components of news are sources, facts, ideas, and opinions, though I’ll say the fifth is not readers - following Jay Rosen’s first pronouncement at the first Bloggercon Dave organized - but us, all of us, no matter what role we play. Those roles, I agree with Dave, start with those who have and want or need news. But to that I add the roles and values I outlined here: reporting, organization, editing, education, functionality (or facilitation), and in an economy of some sort - with or without money - supporting that."
