Journalism 3.x, cont'd
| | One of the most significant memes of the internet is that the bullshit stops when you 'view source'. |
| | In web design, 'viewing the source' allows you behind the scenes of what is on your screen, giving you the ability to see how they did what they did. |
| | In Journalism and reporting the 'view source' meme can be used by linking to the material used to create stories is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of information and communication. Fact checking is supposed to be the fundamental foundation of reportage in news organizations. |
| | The internet is changing the way things get reported. |
| | The ability of publishing from a single computer by a single person to collaborative efforts by dozens of individuals, to news organizations that are trying to use the web to bolster circulation and continue the parasitic relationship of the modern news organization, the ability to link to other online sources of information, allowing readers to fact check stories to determine the veracity and neutrality in the case of all those 'fair and balanced' folks, is unparalled in the history of communication. |
| | Words are powerful regardless of the viewpoint. They shape our opinions, call us to action, set off our bullshit detectors. Fact sharing is the nature of the internet. |
| | I feel like I'm the proofreader for all the media that comes into the house. |
| | Can't these people get their facts straight? |
