Comments on: AP urges news industry to stop being so ignorant http://www.lostremote.com/2007/11/02/ap-urges-news-industry-to-stop-being-so-ignorant/ Where TV Finds the Future Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:26:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Eric Schwartzman http://www.lostremote.com/2007/11/02/ap-urges-news-industry-to-stop-being-so-ignorant/#comment-549575 Eric Schwartzman Sun, 04 Nov 2007 14:39:02 +0000 http://www.lostremote.com/2007/11/02/ap-urges-news-industry-to-stop-being-so-ignorant/#comment-549575 Good journalism is the result of a streamlined process that involves some degree of group consensus. Call it inadequate, or increasingly insolvent, but I believe it is a process that we will see rise in importance as the web becomes more and more crowded with information that confuses opinions for facts, and frontlines personal bias. I’m not saying journalism is without advocacy, but at least there are standard operating procedures. Why doesn’t the AP – and the dailies for that matter -- start crowing about the fact that they are among the last organizations that don’t leave their coverage of the news to the passions of an individual? The value of editorial oversight is extremely undervalued in today’s media mindset. Good journalism is the result of a streamlined process that involves some degree of group consensus.

I've gone from the local internet side to a notional channel, but everyone there pretends the internet doesn't exist except to supplement and be an "entertainment" offshoot. It's amazing.

why not build a better mousetrap?

there are those whose “proven track records” run longer than many readers and authors lives here that often write of the downside to these deals.
