Anlässlich des O'Reilly Digital Democracy Teach-In (vom 9.Februar 2004) diskutierten Dan Gillmor, Jeff Jarvis and Jay Rosen über "Gatekeepers No More" - resp. die Rolle der Journalisten im Wandel:
"Journalists think … we need to give people information so they can participate. But it is more likely that if people participate they will seek information. … Activity comes first, and journalists in this country made a big mistake long time ago when without realizing it they began not to care if people got engaged with the information, they cared only if they received the information.
This is a key concept that must be understood by newspapers, and especially by newspaper editors, if they are to retain their community relevance and authority. Interest is directly relational to involvement. Journalists need to follow more than lead. Truly listen to your community, and the content that will engage them will be clear." Das ist schon etwas älter, aber passt ganz gut zu meinem Beitrag "Weblogs als 'Bürgermedien'?". Weiter gehts bei CyberWriter.
