Murdoch And The Citizen Journalist

[RRP]

“I do not underestimate the tests before us. We may never become true digital natives, but we can and must begin to assimilate to [our audience’s] culture and way of thinking. It is a monumental, once-in-a-generation opportunity, but it is also an exciting one, because if we’re successful, our industry has the potential to reshape itself, and to be healthier than ever before.” – Rupert Murdoch

Today’s is a technology-savvy generation no longer wed to traditional news outlets. It expects access to information when, where, how, from whom, and of the sort it chooses — and increasingly, it’s taking an active part in the dissemination of news, choosing to feed the media, rather than be fed by it.

Join us for an evening discussion on how citizen journalists are changing the industry — their influence, power, and responsibility; their ethics and standards; their emerging policies and guidelines — and how newspapers and broadcasters must adapt to survive.

Can’t say where this is from but a few “names” will be attending. All eyes on Steph Flanders tonight.

What a relief from Kirsty and co ( I hope).
