Christoph Borernews depended on it, as if solving the press’ problems solves news. That’s
not the ecosystem of news now. There’s a fundamentally new structure to media
and there are many different ways to look at it. And until we realize that, I
don’t think we’ll begin to create successful new models for news. So pardon my
simplistic drawings, but here’s an attempt to begin to illustrate that new
ecosystem of news and media.
We start, of course, with the way things were: news through the filter of the
press to us with few other options. We all know this chart:
This is replaced today by a press-sphere in which any of many sources can,
thanks to links, add up a story and to fulfilling the need or desire for news
and information. The press may be involved and may create a news story. But we
might have found that via links from our peers who tell us it’s news (
“if the news
is important, it will find me”
). Either of those might have linked to source
material from a company or government site — which now plays a press role in
adding to the whole of a story. Witnesses can join in the process directly.
Background might come via links to archives. Commentary from observers may add
perspective. An accumulation of data may
alert
us to news or augment it.
All of these elements add up to news.
When we put the public at the center of the universe — which is how these
charts should be drawn and how the world should be seen, as each of us sees it —
we see the choices we all call upon: the press still, yes, but also our peers,
media that are not the press (e.g., Jon Stewart), search, links, original
sources, companies, the government. It’s all information and we curate it and
interact with it with the tools available. And, again, the press stands in a
different relationship to the world around it.
So this yields a different view of the news story itself. The notion that
news comes in and stories go out — text and photos come in and paper goes out —
