Newspapers are trading staff photographers in favor of crowdsourced citizen journalism.
"beyond learning HTML. I mean real programming"

As Rupert Murdoch talks about how he wants to cut off Google, while claiming that aggregator sites are "parasites" and "stealing" from him -- and that fair use would likely be barred by the courts, it seemed like a good time to examine at least some of the sites that are owned by Rupert Murdoch that appear to aggregate content from other sites and which rely on the very same fair use argument.
TechCrunch columnist Paul Carr took to New York’s public radio station WNYC yesterday to discuss the pros and cons of citizen journalism in the context of breaking news. Carr was joined by host Brian Lehrer and journalist and academic Jeff Jarvis, a longtime advocate of citizen journalism.

“If the top 50 journalists out of The New York Times walked out the door, raised $100 million from a hedge fund and started a site, it would be profitable.” Arrington said

The idea here is because that The Times has built up such an inefficient, old media infrastructure with astronomically higher costs, it would be better if the best writers started fresh

The news room idea is one more and more companies are creating. I think where they are still falling down is on the ongoing content strategy. Corporate Journalism is going to be huge. The fall of the newspapers have left a huge need for companies and it's only going to get worse.

When the crisis subsided, executives at ISC hired David E. Henderson and the team at The News Group Net LLC, to create a brand-new, content-rich ISC Newsroom.
David is an Emmy Award winning former CBS News correspondent and veteran communications strategist. I'm a fan of his blog and book, so I contacted him to learn more about the Imperial Sugar Company Newsroom.
I'm particularly excited about how ISC hired journalists to create their newsroom, something I’ve advocated for years. This is something I've called brand journalism and is an increasingly effective marketing tool. In fact, ISC has hired the skills of a print journalist, a television journalist, and a photojournalist.

They will orient the “patrollers” on the fundamentals of citizen journalism—from shooting pictures or videos using cell phones or cameras, to writing captions and telling a story, to uploading their reports to the Internet. They will also be briefed on the electoral process and the ethics of journalism.
To me the problem stems from people thinking that newspapers are synonymous with news, or journalism, or reporting. In my experience those three things are happening less and less at newspapers. Making it illegal to link to a newspaper would kill their business faster than anything else (IMO).

It's nice to see Journalism Schools recognize the importance of social media. Especially if they don't want to turn out unemployable students.

- The future of media is all digital, she has concluded, and she doesn’t want to be left behind
- She prefers digital journalism for all its advantages
Kara says she’s going all digital because she doesn’t want to kill any more trees, which although it’s an obvious rationale, is still striking to hear stated flatly by a long-time print journalist of Kara’s stature.
But more striking still were Kara’s other reasons:

I've always wondered what is stopping really talented journalists from going out on their own. I've heard what "average" journalism wages are and I also know what a really engaging writer can make running their own blogs.
I have to think that most journalists just aren't that adventurous. Most of them don't strike me as entrepreneurs, although the ones that are could make a killing on their own.
