Yet given people’s new power to create echo chambers, the result will be serious obstacles not merely to civility but also to mutual understanding and constructive problem solving. The Daily Me leads inexor­ably also to the Daily Them. That is a real problem for democracy.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice/macarthur' rel='tag'>macarthur</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice/news' rel='tag'>news</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice/newspapers' rel='tag'>newspapers</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice'>tonycurzonprice</a></p> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:43:08 -0000 http://www.journa-list.com/about <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><h2>About Journa-list</h2> <h3>Why journa-list?</h3> <p>Have you ever read an article and thought, I'd really like to know more about the journalist who wrote this?</p> <p>Maybe you want to read previous things the journalist has written, or find out more about their experience in a particular subject area, or get in contact with them.</p> <p>Or perhaps you want to find out who else is writing about a particular subject - say 'Bluetongue' - and compare one journalist's articles with those written by other journalists from different publications.</p> <p>Or, you might want to build your own newsroom of journalists - science journalists for example - and have all their articles emailed directly to you each morning.</p> <p>You can do all of this on journa-list.</p> <p>It's our attempt to make news a bit more transparent and journalists a bit more accountable - on behalf of the public.</p></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice/macarthur' rel='tag'>macarthur</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice/news' rel='tag'>news</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/tonycurzonprice'>tonycurzonprice</a></p> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:45:00 -0000 http://themrwrightblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/everything-in-context.html <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">we mused over the perceived legitimacy you can create via a nice website, concluding that in effect, without a solid online presence you don’t exist in today’s media environment.
