digital Journalists: minstrels XXI Century Design

This time space traveler wanted to give his take on the subject that has treated the blogger Claudio Leiva in his latest post, where a fairly academic language tries to look on the place occupy posts in the training of new journalists. To my taste, there was a rather long back before giving you a pinch to a topic that has enough content to discuss. But it is longer than that given this pen in his latest post, where he talks about design blogs ...

Anyway, the topic got me thinking. Here I explain what I said on his blog Claudio Leiva carries.

With this theme, it seems to me that journalism had not received a jolt in its foundations since the advent of printing, a few centuries ago.

Indeed, this happened to the ancient bards who went from village to village singing the latest news, using poetry to challenge the fragility of memory, who started after the invention of Gutenberg had to learn to write.

After that, adapting the language to the radio was not great thing, the TV provided the image in which humanity had more to long experience, only movement was incorporated.

So, the writing was sufficiently plastic to both technological advances in communication, and for different ways of understanding the public through several generations.

That is, until the advent of blogs.

This removed the floor has a medium apart from having the fullest expression to HTML, radically changes the relationship between journalist and audience, to break what we understand these concepts.

course, ultimately, they are all users. Given this, the old minstrel who had to put aside the lute to make use of movable type, this time it had to break an entire communications paradigm to break into the wide world, html by hand.

And we know that is much more than that: it's journalism 3.0. A scenario that has been void of communication models, and forced to relearn journalism. Of course, the mesh academic and journalism schools realize this change.

The effort is evident to those we have experienced the transition from the minstrel of the press to the digital journalist. _____________________________________________________
