Laura Amico on Jazz and Journalism: Reporting with Improvisation
June 11th, 2013
Improvisation theories, drawn mostly from jazz, have increasingly been applied to entrepreneurship, new product development, and other fields, but rarely, if ever, to journalism. Yet journalism is an industry built on improvisation, from the actions of reporters out in the field, to the deadline work of editors and page designers. More than that, it is an industry that needs a new framework in order to survive.
Laura Amico — a Nieman-Berkman fellow in journalism innovation and founder of Homicide Watch — presents her preliminary ideas on improvisation theory and jazz in news development, arguing for a journalism framework that builds new culture out of improvisation.
