Comments on: Traditional Concepts Most Important to Online Journalists http://www.ryanthornburg.org/blog/2008/07/10/traditional-concepts-most-important-to-online-journalists/ Journalism innovation, leadership, research and editorial product development Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:27:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Monica Guzman http://www.ryanthornburg.org/blog/2008/07/10/traditional-concepts-most-important-to-online-journalists/#comment-48 Monica Guzman Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:39:53 +0000 http://www.ryanthornburg.org/blog/?p=44#comment-48 I am a reporter at the Seattle P-I and I share your shock that journalists are not prioritizing community management and technological awareness. Along with a nose for news, reporters should be developing a nose for how best to tell the story. As for the conversation - well, thanks to the forums on the Internet, it's becoming just as big an element in news comprehension as the news itself - not to mention our most powerful potential bridge between news and civic action. Cultivate the conversation and you will see results. That's part of my mission at the P-I. Great post, and great survey. Hope your ideas spread.

MSM news sites still fail to link to external sources or have reader comments in the thread of specific articles. Whatever happened to crowd-sourcing? Pathetic Luddites with decreasing integrity since we Dan Ratherized them. It takes some industries a long time to wake up and smell the coffin.
