Journalism and Social Media: Video Interview

2009-06-15T00:56:55Z

Two of Richmond's leading bloggers, Jeff Kelley and Ian Graham, sat down at a recent Social Media Club event to talk about journalism, politics, satire, and how new media is changing the game.

From parody sites being taken too seriously to fake news items somehow ending up on major news websites, the two tackle a wide spectrum of new media and industrial media issues. They also get to chat about the legitimacy and credentials of new media journalists and how many social media users have ended up being the first to report or broadcast important news in recent months.

]]> Graham and Kelley also take the time to discuss users' news consumption habits online. Both men believe the traditional newspaper is facing imminent death, and each has an interesting take on what comes next.

Special thanks to Christopher Munton for camera/audio/editing work.

I agree it seems like netbooks are getting cheap enough for you to find content online. I do know some people who are leary of being in front of a computer all day or even to get your news. The printing press changed how we read things and the Internet is changing how we consume information.

The difference between real journalism and bloggers is journalists need sources and have to verify them. If bloggers would have the same access as journalists then it would level the playing field.

Interesting how things are going to be evolving with technology and journalism. How do we adapt and who do we believe?

The laptop can replace the television, it's just further away than the replacement of the newspaper. Hulu, boxee, etc. has already signaled how the tv and the internet will merge, so you can count on a major shift in that area as well.
