The news diamond • This model can also be represented as an alternative to the inverted pyramid: • Just as the inverted pyramid was partly a result of the increasing role of the telegraph in the news industry, and dominant cultural ideas of empiricism and science, this news diamond attempts to illustrate the change from a 19th century product (the article) to a 21st century process: the iterative journalism of new media; the story that is forever ‘unfinished’. More than anything, it’s designed to challenge the dominance of the inverted pyramid, to illustrate its origins in the industrial era, and its shortcomings. And in the spirit of the ‘unfinished’, none of these models are final: please post a comment with your own contributions. http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2007/09/17/a-model-for-the-21st-century-newsroom-pt1-the-news-diamond/
Distributed journalism • Distributed journalism means letting go of one asset – content – to build another: community. It means cultivating contacts, not just a contacts book. It means understanding communities, and sometimes being led by them. And it means creating tools and systems as often as creating stories. • Here’s the graphic – note that it is not top-down or hierarchical:

Journalism 1.0 Journalism 2.0 Conversation LECTURE
The New Media Ecosystem Source: Morgan Stanley October 2004 report: “Update from the Digital World” by Mary Meeker et. al.
Credibility 2.0 Then... Now... Audience size (market success) Professional credentials Peer respect (community reputation) Transparency & honesty
Info Supply & Demand 2.0 Then... Now... High cost of production Scarcity of space, airtime, etc. Low cost of production Scarcity of attention
Business Model 2.0 Audience Viewers Readers Customers Community
Obstacles to a truly Global Conversation: • ATTENTION: The caring problem. What people need to know vs. what they enjoy knowing and talking about. • LANGUAGE: The internet is becoming more multi-lingual… translation requires effort. • ACCESS:The people whose voices we most need to hear are the ones who are least able to speak out online.(Internet 40x more expensive for Africans than Americans!) • CENSORSHIP: Roughly 40 national governments now censor their Internet.(For more info see OpenNet.net)
