The times they are a changing

Posted in ABC, Australia, Comment, Media, Technology by david @ Mar 29, 2008

Mark Scott probably gets it, if he doesn’t he isn’t half as smart as he needs to be, and the NY Times certainly writes about it. The import of this development is that the changes in reporting will weaken the role of the journalist in shaping public opinion. This has at least two sides, one is that the standards that journalists have developed will lose meaning and secondly the importance of journalists in the scheme of things will be diminished.

At first blush this development doesn’t imply a diminishing of the role of media conglomerates. It has just created a couple of new players, like Google for instance. The news still has to come from somewhere, a lot is still generated by traditional sources, but as the web becomes more pervasive and news outlets increase their presence online, then naturally their content is getting into the mix. The fear expressed that the web would destroy their businesses seems unfounded to date, it has however bought about some changes in the way news is gathered or manufactured.

So as a source, entities such as the ABC still have a role, but their monopoly on opinion or the opinion of their journalists is no longer sacrosanct. The danger for the trads is that new savvy players who want to carve out an image or bring new ideas onto the world stage can bypass the traditional outlets. The success of Obama with young democrats in the US is just such an example.

Journalists and there standards will be a casualty in the new order. The pressure to get content out as opposed to stories is the tip of the iceberg. The ecosystem that cocooned journalists and elevated their status as speakers for the rich and powerful or indeed as critics is losing oxygen. Their skill and craft is still laudable, unfortunately a high school hack can now orchestrate a youtube event and run a blog with almost the same impact, if the material is worthy.

This is just part of the journey.
