Comments on: Lessons for online journalists from #CNNFail and the Iran uprising http://www.ojr.org/p1752/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=p1752 Focusing on the future of digital journalism Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:43:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: 86.157.180.233 http://www.ojr.org/p1752/#comment-1935 86.157.180.233 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:42:37 +0000 http://www.ojr.org/?p=1752#comment-1935 I think this shows the degree that people are moving towards new media, and it can only be a good thing. Gone are the days where people accept spoon fed news, the global connectivity achievable by anyone through twitter/facebook/et al these days allows cutting edge news delivery whether the commercial media wish to cover it or not, the truth will get out one way or another and this is the way it should be.

I for one welcome our social media overlords!

Like a floating democracy or real-time referendum machine. Its rising power will force governments and the media to listen. Here we see that CNN must have a secret agenda not to display this time of scandalous information.

Greetings from the UK. I think we have learnt similar lessons over here. I am so bored of the CNNFail mentality but I love the idea of people holding media to account. We should stop worrying about Twitter versus Old Media and concentrate on the joys of Networked Journalism.
I have had a crack at the same issues here

Kinda funny really, like watching your parents try to skateboard.
