#newsrw train thoughts #1
In an industry looking for answers, it was great to go to News:Rewired a day of listening to and talking with people from completely oppossing views on how things should happen in the media.
That may sound like a contradiction – but it isn’t. There can’t be a one size fits all solution to the changes in the media world (whether that be mainstream, hyperlocal or personal news environments).
On one hand we had a classic us vs them, journalists vs (dirty term of at least one session) citizen journalism. On the other the idea of journalism=(0r at least should/must=)entrepreneurism compare to a pair of entrepreneurial journalists who operate in some very old school media ways while being innovative at the same way (that will be the SoGlos team).
There was legal advice that equalled “this ain’t the Wild West and the law still applies” and some excellent advice on how to get into datamashing.
What was a pleasure was being in the same place as people who care, are thinking and sharing. (and a personal pleasure to see members of my network whom I know and get a chance to chat to and others I’ve never met face to face).
I’ll be blogging and link sharing to other people’s blogs as I wend my way from London back to Cardiff.
And then I travel 200 odd miles to meet a hyperlocal journalist who is operating in my home city too – Llandaff News. Small world etc.
Nuff said (at least for a short while).
