News 2.0: The Future of News in an Age of Social Media, Ira Basen, CBC News (June 30)
CBC ran an excellent 2 hour program on News 2.0 - direction of the News business in the Web 2.0 age of citizen journalism and social media.
"There is much to celebrate about this democratization of the media, but there are also reasons to be concerned about the loss of an independent, professional journalistic filter at a time when everyone can be their own media. Can online communities of "citizen journalists" be counted on to help us make informed choices as citizens and consumers? What's lost, and what's gained when "News 1.0" gives way to "News 2.0?""
Ira Basen interviewed Chris Anderson, Clay Shirky, Andrew Keen, Paul Sullivan, Matthew Ingram, Paul Gillin, Kirk Lapointe. Web site has links to transcripts of interviews and resources.
