Jeff Jarvis: ‘The fate of journalism is not in the hands of institutions’
November 2nd, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Events, Online Journalism
Remember how, in true ‘beta-journalism’ spirit, Jeff Jarvis tested the idea for his forthcoming Guardian column at last week’s ‘Crisis’ conference in Coventry?
Well, here’s the final result, in today’s MediaGuardian, at this link. An extract:
“I am less protective of legacy news organisations because they have had a chance to remake themselves as smaller, nimbler, collaborative enterprises for the internet and have largely failed. The future of news – and there is a future – is being built by entrepreneurs who in change see opportunity, not crisis.
“In short: I say the fate of journalism is not in the hands of institutions. The fate of journalism is in the hands of entrepreneurs.”
