Our work at the Pew Internet Project and the University of Toronto’s NetLab (especially research for the Connected Lives Project) does not support the fear that the digital technologies are killing society. Our evidence is that these technologies are not isolated — or isolating — systems. They are being incorporated into people’s social lives much like their predecessors were.<br /><br />

The news ecosystem has changed radically in the past decade. US newspapers have shed jobs and closed foreign bureaus as existing business models have failed, and new business models are still emerging. Professional reporters work alongside bloggers and social media users. Sometimes these amateurs commit isolated acts of journalism... and sometimes they emerge as the most knowledgeable sources on complex issues. A revolution in tools and techniques - the rise of inexpensive digital still and video cameras, the emergence of platforms like Twitter, Tumblr and Storify - are changing how amateurs and professionals report and share news.
Rather than exploring the history of journalism and challenges to existing models of news production, this class will consider the news as an engineering challenge. How do we discover what events are taking place in different parts of the world? How do we explain the importance of these events to readers or viewers? What can readers of a story do to respond to events? We'll explore the systems journalists and others have used to report and share the news, but we'll focus on developing our own tools and methods to address these challenges.

"Guardian special projects editor Lewis said: “I don’t think I took out a
notepad or a laptop during the five days I was on the street, on the front line
of the riots.

“There’s one quite important reason for that: you’re conspicuous if you have
something that looks like or identifies you as a reporter.

“Journalists were being attacked throughout the five days so I would
constantly take notes on my Blackberry, and then turn those notes into tweets,
and turn those notes into stories using the Blackberry to post sound files to
Audioboo, file to the live blog take photographs and record videos as well.”"

"A growing percentage of people are wising up to the consequences of
willy-nilly friending and status update-posting.

The Pew Internet and American Life Project, which surveyed 2,277 adults 18
and over, determined that two-thirds of people online are using social
networking sites, but these folks are also now more likely to correct for their
past friending mistakes."
