SubscribeNews, Journalists & Citizens
Posted in Citizen Journalism, Publishing, Reports, News on March 13th, 2007. By Eduard F. Vinyamata.
According to the State of the News Media report (Via Micro Persuasion), the news industry needs a new economic model. Last year’s decline in newspaper circulation seems to confirm this. Some newspapers are doing better than others, for example the Financial Time’s integrated newsroom seems to be paying off and the USA Today new website is attracting thousands of members. All in all, out of all the traditional media outlets, and as we reported before, it’s the publishing industry who is leading in innovation on news. Journalists themselves, Cyberjournalist reports, are starting to make TV.
On the other hand, Citizen Journalists, or at least French Citizen Journalists, seemed to have it harder: France approved a law making it illegal for non journalists to capture and distribute videos of violent acts. Later on, upon reading the actual text of this law, Lost Remote reader confirmed the law was limited to acts of violence done in order to be filmed and broadcast. It’s surprising though that of all countries France passed a law that proposes a “certification system” to label “government approved sources of information”.
