“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.

Well, maybe not so ideal – but big change to the world of internet.
Blogging it’s like game – more you play – like it more.
Your idea it’s written before Web 2.0 hype. Well done.
How far technology has changed the world. Yes, blogging is addictive and time-consuming :>
Has anyone read “The long tail” ? Blogging is the long tail of journalism
Thanks for the informative post
Traditional media outlets need to embrace blogging and the power of the 2.0 web marketing avenues. It really is the long tail of journalism
Great article. Information is only a mouseclick away in today world.
Very detailed article,i like it.
great article!..
I love the idea of returning journalism to the people; but seriously, a the average blog will reach a few hundred at best, while the nightly news will reach millions.
The mainstream media used to at least try to appear unbiased; but after Bush got re-elected they completely abandoned all ethics for the greater cause (in their eyes) of getting a democrat elected president. This same thing happened in 1992, after 12 years of a GOP controlled White House, when the top news story every single night was the economic depression. Six months of hearing the same top story will cause anyone to lose the White House.
Bravo Jay! Only, don’t look to the Internet, when the TV media is still the dominant force. Until we begin to see people getting more than 50% of their news from the Internet, it can’t be seen as the salvation of the corruption.
The Internet will never replace the major media, it will simply raise the amount of critics of the media.
Blogs have become more powerful in the last years.
I found this great video about RSS and Blogs from prwire at youtube:
“Leverage the influence of new media to increase the power of social media”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmAO02qAZ-Q
Very interesting article. I never inteded to become a “Journalist” when I started blogging, but now report on many newsy things in the tech worked, have been hired to write monthly articles for some major publications and also get hired to lecture.
Who knew?

Thanks.
The real power of blogging will be felt when bloggers unite. Individual blogging is just a thousand voices all speaking into the wind and not to each other.
The power of blogging is really changing the landscape of politics and journalism as we know it!
Very informative post indeed.. Blogging is one of my habit..
thanks for sharing your very informative post..
Blogging is huge both from a business perspective and personal branding look. It equates to business opportunity and opportunity for business.
Even for the hearing impaired, blogging offers a great avenue for communication and a place to find similar people going through similar things.
Blogging is a great way to put up your experiences and views out for other people to read and ponder over. Businesses who care about keeping great relations with their customers often have one to post latest happenings or to answer queries.
For sure the bloggs are here to stay.
SEO rocks! I have seen amazing results in my business from using blogs, twitter, digg, etc. These tools are awesome when you know how to use them.
Tip: Here is how you can maximize your social media marketing. Take 1 piece of content, and do a video on it…Then turn that video into an article, then turn that article into a pr, then turn that article into a blog post, and bookmark all forms of this content! Powerful!

great articles
I completely agree. We’re sending a complete shift in journalism that has never been heard of before. I agree 100% with what youre saying, hopefully its not like what happened in the 60s and 70s. A repeat of that would be disasterous
So true, please continue to update on this developing issue.
Thanks for the article. Blogging is replacing main stream news for many people.
Interesting article. Not bad for a free website
I think the issue is unchallenged dishonest journalism.
Yup, I agree to. It’s really nice research. Very helpful. Thanks
major media is still the undisputed champion. The internet is just catching up
blogging is just one of the strategies. Mass media is still the way to go
blogging is a paradigm shift from traditional journalism. Only time will tell if it’ll overtake mass media
I can’t disagree with that. But here’s the truth: a blog will reach a few hundred at best, while mass media – millions
Use blogging as leverage and as an alternative publishing avenue. But it will NEVER ever replace traditional media
Journalists are supposed to inform us on subjects
without bias or agendas (in my opinion).
Thanks for the information
yup, blogging is long tail journalism
Getting backlinks through blogs can effectively influence search engines to getting your site ranked. As long as it doesnt interfere with the flow and direction of the blog, i dont see a problem with people getting a little more juice for their links. Its important to accept these comments because it will also drive up the blogs page rank for future success in advertising.
People first, bottom up is a reality today, with the generation of grassroot bloggers and youtubers.
Reading your post today, after a few years of the post, I must say that you do that vision of “change is in the wind”. I want to show my respect by this note.
Very informative article, I have saved it and showed to to some of my friends already.
Blogging, networks, online forums…all great ways to get into communities for the purpose of learning and meeting people.
I’ve read his book. The problem exists. And there is the point of trusting to journalists. The number of people who trust is now decreasing fast.
blogs are really and useful if you know how to use
very nice article. I don’t know anything about journalism.

Great stuff. Thanks as always for bringing this to the forefront, making it TOMA will help ensure it is just not a forgotten issue. <a href=”http://www.weblearners.com/time-management-training-austin-tx.html”

This is a really nice article….
I think bloging is the future dont you just love it
This is a very informative article..I just located this site but I will be sure that I bookmark it.
Thanks
nice article and many thanks for sharing with us.

I will disagree with people saying that mass media is superior to internet journalism (blogging). And i sustain that claim even for the quality of the “news” that both industries provide (because they are industries).
Why ? Simple : in mass media you got quality news that has a huge impact on ratings and some news are low to zero in quality but… they still get high ratings because of the previous news or the news to come.
The same happens in blogging or article websites. The information that you can get from blogs and internet media is far superior in numbers and quality from the mass media.
nice blog i really appreciate it.
nice article and many thanks for sharing with
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning
more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog
with more information? It is extremely helpful and beneficial to your readers
I can see the day where professional journalists will submit their stories via blogs for review and purchase. Editors will do some fact checking and editing, accept the story and then pay the journalist on a piece-work basis.
Agree!blogging is addictive and time-consuming .
Thank your for the the great information.
I appreciate and respect your point of view.
Bloggers make the news! I don’t trust any newspaper anymore..
I agree journalism is turning on heads, we see the print media going digital, like most of the newspapers themselves have blogs and they update it with news even before the printed stuff gets published
I think in a few years most of the newspapers are going to go digital, it’s much cheaper and nowadays you can access internet pretty much from everywhere.
Thats true blogging has completely changed how the information flows or reaches the general public.
Well ,I really appreciate your Hard Effort in gathering so info much for us.!!
Anyways thanks
health is wealth
Great article, public reports and bloggers are definitely changing the landscape for news thats for sure.
Blogs are simply mushrooming on the net.
And there a huge platform for bloggers to hone their writing skill.And all the latest information is only a few clicks away.Thanks for the informative podcast.
Due to the competition between bloggers news often travels very quickly. Bloggosphere has completely transformed the information interchange.
Nice article Jay thanks for sharing if us
Gracias
I think social media is going to be the next big thing and blogspehre is going to take the backseat.
Nice written post.
Bloggers make the news! We all are new journalists.
Blogging can have very good mass apepal if used properly.

How to pay off debt?
Yes this is great article, looking forward for update.
I recently read that the FTC was going to start cracking down on bloggers for supposed copywright infringements. Mainstream media has become a circus for hollywood tabloids and sensationalism disguised as information or ‘news’. Discuss.
Thanks.great post..i think today , the Journalism is growing very fash with internet,. with different method with traditional..
Nice for your post
I feel like a journalist now as well! Waiting for a new update! Good stuff!
BLogging and now twitter are changing the way information is distributed. For those ho said a blog will only reach a few hundred people obviously don’t understand the number of people on the internet.
The real question though is has news gotten better by having “first hand” news such as blogs or is it the still highly influenced by mass media.
Thanks for this nice post. You have a very high standard here.
Great article,thanks !
Terrible replies here. Unless you are a celeb, your blog can only do so much vs the major news networks.
Great post. Such interesting information
Cool stuff,thanks!
Great info posted here about the transformation of journalism. Thanks for sharing.
I strongly agree with your opinion, informative and usefull. More power.

Nice interview, do you have any more I can read?
I’m hoping that the internet will not completely take over journalism, yet it seems to be heading in that direction. Good stuff.
Thanks for the informative post
What’s bloggerCon please? :O
good..this is great article..
Excellent information for everyone
Great information. I will back
Very very good post
Interesting information
Interesting thanks
A blog, unless written by a professional journalist or a widely known celebrity, cannot compete with mass media. At best, it can reach thousands of visitors daily, but not millions like TV and newspapers.
It is really amazing…Thanks for sharing….

Interesting Article.. The information is distributed to people in many different ways.. Journalism cant be taken over by internet,but they both can grow together.
I think the internet allows journalists to grow beyond anywhere they have been able to in the past

As one who has been following journalist bloggers since the beginning, I worry that the web is losing its equilibrium as more and more discussion sites turn into a Potemkin village of search engine optimizers. I apologize for the meta quality of this post.
Great comments thanks.

Blogging has changed Journalism, our daily news is no longer confined to the huge media players. Social networking will change things even more.
Electric knife sharpeners
blogging is independent. Jornalism often not. The jornalist must often represent the opinion of the great lords what is real bad. So many times they “manipulate” the news. by blogging it doesn’t exists. But blogging reach only a few thousand people (if it is succesfull)
Interesting article I found informative.
I might have to look into his book What Are Journalists For?
You got to like a guy who is a advocate of people-first.
I very much appreciated your writings and sharing your thoughts to everyone. I expect more articles to read for the next time.

I agree with this article. A change is definitely needed.
This is such a great article. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
The internet seems to be the “people first” the author is looking for. Everyone with a computer is now a journalist.
There’s no doubt we’re currently experiencing a revolution in the ways information is being distributed. But just as in any revolution it takes time for best practices to evolve and prove themselves. So while right now there’s a whole lot of noise there are a growing number of bloggers who are experimenting and discovering how to push the boundaries of reach and influence via blogging and social media. And while they’re paving the way what is clear is that any traditional media that does not embrace social media is akin to taking a knife to a gun fight.
great blog really good read keep it up
And still things have not changed. I wonder just how frustrated he is now at this moment in time. Thanks for sharing.
Good thing for Jay Rosen that He has put journalism into blog. It would be an interesting issue for aspiring bloggers like me. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
This is certainly thought provoking.
I found it quite easy to gain acceptance as a national and a local column for a top 100 website that many people believe is written by journalists. I minored in English, and that is as close I got to journalism training. Don’t get me wrong, I love writing my articles, but it frightens me just a little when people assume I have credentials that I will probably never have.
I think it’s great people are able to do online journalism their selves.
I have even managed to beat some of the top News Agencies with News titles on my forum http://www.tvworlds.com (forums are also loved by search engines and give people the perfact place for their own jornalistis endevours) as well as my own staic XHTML websites.

What’s remarkable about this 2003 article is the pace of development within social media.
Blogging was seen back then as the common mans only alternative to main stream media.
Google was an infant child battling its way to survival whereas now it controls over 70% of search engine traffic.
thefacebook was another waif and stray fighting for recognition and finally achieved it as the re-branded facebook.com.
youtube, twitter and the iphone didnt even exist at the time this article was written…..
…blogging is still important, of course it is; but as some of the other commenters have remarked, its now (just) a part of the media mix.
