Jeff Jarvis: the press-sphere - a new architecture of news
April 27, 2008
We love Jeff Jarvis. He is sorta a media visionary that blogs about journalism and online media. We’re not ass-kissing or searching for PR with this post (actually if Mr. Jarvis is seeing this note around this time we’d be begging him NOT TO blog about ShoVine.com as we are still figuring shit out.) But we can’t deny that some of his writings over the years have influenced us to re-think the media model of reporting entertainment news. When Jarvis writes about a press-sphere we just might not be so crazy to think we should try to aggregate from all sources and categorize a shit load of celebrity news in the name of telling the best overall story.
when witnesses share what they see publicly we need to figure out how to integrate that into our journalism. It will become even more complicated when they share what they see live with their camera-phones, as technology allows today. Veteran journalists may be nowhere near that news - because, as journalists, they had not been allowed in the door or merely because they had not arrived yet - but they will depend on such reporting or witnessing, call it what you will. It will still add up to journalism in the end. - JEFF JARVIS
