Upendra Shardanand: Hand-crafted content online needs new tools
December 16th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Online Journalism
In his response to TechCrunch’s declaration that hand-crafted content on news and other websites is being replaced by “fast-food content”, Daylife CEO Upendra Shardanand says its the tools being used by writers and editors to create that content that are part of the problem:
The real problem is that storytellers are using the same authoring tool to write stories for the web that they use for print. A text editor. For those in print businesses, they are particularly handcuffed since they need the same tool to publish to two places – print and the web. So the tools force the authors to create “print” experiences online.
