Future of Journalism?

By clock on November 24, 2008.

Jeff Jarvis systematically lays down the possible future of journalism (read carefully the entire thing):

It's fair to expect me to put forward scenarios for the future of news. In a sense, that's all I ever do here, but there's no one permalink summarizing my apparently endless prognostication. So here is a snapshot of - a strawman for - where I think particularly local news might go. What follows is just a long - I'm sorry - summary of what I've written here over time and an extension of the one model I think we need to expand coming out of the conference, where one lesson I took away is that news - on both the content and business side - will no longer be controlled by a single company but will be collaborative.

And if you are a recently laid-off journalist, call Anil Dash and he'll help you become a New Journalist:

The TypePad Journalist Bailout Program offers recently terminated bloggers and journalists a free pro account (worth $150 annually) on the company's popular blogging platform. In addition to the free yearly membership, the 20 to 30 journalists who are accepted will receive professional tech support, placement on the company's blog aggregation site, Blogs.com, and automatic enrollment in the company's advertising revenue-sharing program.
