“The terms of authority are changing in American journalism,” Jay Rosen observed in a long conversation after the opening day of BloggerCon.
For more than a decade Jay Rosen has been a frustrated advocate of people-first, bottom-up “public journalism.” The premise of his project (and his book, What Are Journalists For?) was that, as an act of civic conscience, major media might abandon the celebrity circus approach to covering, for example, presidential campaigns. The idea was laughed at, left for dead after the 1996 season. Yet Jay Rosen never quit, and the spirit burns bright on his blog, PressThink. Today, strangely, he believes we’re in sight of real public journalism–not as a matter of corporate or professional conscience but because: the tools of journalism are being democratized; the costs not just of blogging but of digital radio and television are suddenly minimal; “amateurs” from the Baghdad Blogger to Instapundit have shown a flair for the game; audiences seem to love the new entrants; and major media institutions are having their own independent crisis of confidence and credibility. Jay Rosen’s reading of the New York Times’ internal review of the Jason Blair scandal was that “the Kremlin model doesn’t work anymore,” either with staff or readers. Change is in the wind.
Here’s the summary quote about The Blog Effect:
Jay Rosen, who runs the journalism program at New York University, has taken his lumps for his reformist vision in the past. His fresh hope is founded on something more than idealism. Listen here.

One of the most important pieces of information that a coin collector will want to know is how much a coin is worth. By knowing what a coin is worth will affect what they are willing to pay or sell it for. Plus it will help you to look and appreciate your coins much more.

Blogging seems to be a real time consumer. I know that I can sit here and it seems like it’s only a short while when actually 6 hours has gone by.
Thanks for all my friend. Imagine if tomorrow, the Internet were outlawed and boom, overnight, it stopped existing. How would you pay your bills? You’d have to resort to using phonebooks again! If a friend of yours had run out of toilet paper, there would be NO way for you to know immediately via Facebook – in fact, by the time you and that friend got together, that information would no longer be useful, and you may NEVER find out about your friend’s
Let’s face it. The Internet, being likely the greatest invention of modern times, is an invaluable tool that puts all knowledge at our greedy little fingertips. Like a beehive, the instantaneous information that flits across the globe in seconds informs the rest of the colony, transforming the way we do business, the way we learn, and our relationship to the rest of the world.

Dating advice, tips, and secrets must vary widely by culture. One of the things we’d love to see mainstream journalists cover more of is dating rituals as they relate to various cultures. Dating advice given across cultures would lend a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at intimate human interaction. Dating across cultures might be one of the last truly honest views we have of human behavior.
Excellent blog, thanks for sharing.
