saltwatermatt discovered 8 months ago- Panel discussion regarding nature and direction of journalism. Comment contributued at bottom notes that the quality and influence of english journalism from Al-Jazeera is increasing. Excerpt: We need the complexities. Second worrying trend - the extreme personalization of news -- trivialization eg. politicians sell themselves rather than their policies. Trivia is simple and attractive and sells. Trivia also has proximity. Another worrying thing is the speeding up of news. Today, the picture comes before the wire unlike earlier where journalists had some time to absorb the wire before the pictures came in. Today, the wire is very simple, because it must be sent really quickly, and journalists must rely on wire agencies. This speed has become the biggest enemy of media today. The blogosphere too is is blurring the space even more, with its `reportage' in real time. Good journalism will survive if we adapt!
