newspapers paper may disappear. Or rather will new convergences between paper, web and multimedia.
What certainly will not disappear in 2011 will citizen journalism, journalism that citizien that has grown a lot the last two years and whose power has become clear to everyone at the end of 2010 with the publication of confidential documents by Wikileaks .
A case unprecedented in the history of printing: 800 Journalists professionals have turned this site into a factory scoop. displace the world's press. And opening the way for the sharing of expertise in the information.
But the struggle that we have seen around Wikileaks and Julian Assange with the issues it raises in terms of information, has bases in distant time. E 'sensational development of the first reality of web activism in journalism.
a development occurred in the last decade thanks to growth equally sensational on the Internet, both from the technological point of view of mass deployment in the policies of access (both infrastructure and the literacy) plays a primary role .
are the foundations for a new journalism through the Internet grew in the late nineties experiences known as Indymedia or PeaceReporter . Broaden the new millennium with the Citizien Journalism in adventure Agora Vox and YouReporter . Or related to traditional journalism as iReport CNN.
in 2011, and in the years to come, investigative journalism and the investigative (including paper) will find new strength and new media (the Internet, the web, social networks) on which to base their fortunes . And new forms of cooperation which Wikileaks is just an amazing tip of the iceberg.
The concept "liberariamo information" certainly not born in newsrooms, is travolgend journalism and information worldwide. But it is the prerequisite to and welcome new forms of collaboration between those inside and those outside the newsroom. For the sake of information.
In 2011 will no longer put off the match between journalists 'traditional' and citizens-witness-reporter on the One can not avoid coming to terms with the mass of information (good, bad, serious, false documents) that people can publish on the web and spread virally through social networks and blog platforms evolved.
But that, notes an analysis of NiemanLab , you can only thinking historically the path taken by digital journalism in the last ten years. A decade in which most of the Italian journalists have pretended not to see. We must understand the way in which hackers and technocrats can now shape and direct the flow of information that arrives every day on our PC.
In 2011, more than now, when you try news through a search engine that is coming from newspapers and the blogs have equal dignity in the eyes of a reader.
Especially if new experiences participatory journalism in which journalists and citizens working together for a common objective, truthful and transparent information (see The blue suitcase Roman and events of December 14, 2010) able to filter , mediating, controlling sources, organize content through databases, computer graphics hypertext, georeferenced information. Making it easier for the reader's path. Why more and more will be the player to decide whom to believe. To choose where and how to read.
For this reason it seems increasingly urgent public action (but will be difficult for this to happen, and not only for financial reasons) cultural and technological literacy to the Internet.
If not municipalities, provinces and regions to take responsibility, we expect a greater commitment on the territory of at least fact that public-private technology live such as science parks. O totally private entities.
in 2011 will still be clearer as the digital divide today (and I speak only in the Italian) will lay the foundation not only of new forms of poverty, but also a monopoly of information flow in both revenue (those who publish information and content) and outgoing (who can find this information and use it).
On the front of the press, the time is right to work with those outside. To share expertise. To retrieve information from the Internet in order to produce quality information sharing and collaboration with the community.
And 'what Benoit Raphael , co-founder of the French Post, calls the "social preparation" . A new adventure for journalists, if we believe and invest there.
But, in 2011 in Italy, the difference between a blogger and a print journalist will be the same today: the second will be a paid professional and the first no.
