[framing8] we need a gimmick…
In the past when people we less able to find information on their own, the media (newpapers in particular) could trick us into believing that the idea was the commodity. How can media outlets change “the commodity” to something we will actually pay for?
What is the appropriate role of “citizen journalists”? With no professional training, little access to venues and people and, often, no salary… are they really competition to the pros? Should they be? Why would some people think that they are?
How has social media and new technology propelled the citizen journalism movement forward? How could future advances in technology help or hinder this movement? How could professional media outlets leverage this technology to create a better financial business model?
