Free is good or is it? Framing Questions
Chris Anderson is the editor and chief of Wired Magazine so he sees on a daily basis the importance of this growing media world and how it really is being shaped by open software and open information processing.
1. Could the concept of “free” shape how people access information in the future and hinder the print journalism world?
2. Chris Anderson talks about open source software and mentions a case study of google vs yahoo information, which brings to mind, could all of this free information lead to a decrease in respectable journalism because anybody can access information that a journalist normally utilizes to seek and broadcast?
3. One thing I thought was very interesting is his book was his talk about Youtube how it is “NOT a threat to television because it is full of crap,” which brings me to my question is quantity better than quality when it comes to accessing these videos or will people settle for mediocre video quality because of their fast paced need for this type of media?
