I found an article this morning on Tech Dirt that I found to be very interesting. Perhaps you will find it interesting, as well. This blog post compares print and online journalism. They are most certainly similar, but of course, they are not the same. I’m not surprised that some comments include words such as “rumor” and “factual” when they discuss the merits of one form of journalism over another. It also didn’t surprise me to see that there were comparisons such as “real-time processing” and “batch processing.”
The comment thread includes good conversation about the concepts in the article. I enjoyed the quick remark by one writer who said, “I guess you get the journalism you pay for…”
You might find this article interesting. It also includes video (not necessarily work safe) from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.
