Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!
The
impact of Citizen Journalists is an example of the paradigm shift in how
technology has changed how news consumers behave.
The
rise of CJ’s has contributed to the nature of news we view or read, questioned
the authority of Professional Journalists and upended the advertising model for
traditional newspapers and TV News broadcasts.
A
bigger concern to me is what I call “Selective Aggregation.” Tribune Company recently showcased their new technology which is a customized radio news broadcast. Basically any consumer can customize their
own newscast to include only their individual daily interests. This to me is far more dangerous than Citizen
Journalism. If people use this as their
only source of news, they certainly will miss events and developments that may significantly
impact their lives. As a TV News Director and College Professor, I am
concerned that the current and next generation of news consumers need to source
several traditional and non-traditional news outlets to get the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
At
Mobile Generated News®, we want news consumers to be able to interact with
local media for free. We believe that contributing to the news cycle is
essential to our democracy.
