'Role of journalist is changing in semantic web'

Some rights reserved. The true effect of any change is measured by the depth of its impact rather than its scale. When it comes to semantic search and the semantic web however, both depth and scale become important. Google has famously announced that semantic search is the transition of search and the web from "strings to things" and "websites to people" respectively. To quantify this change, consider that the web is being transformed from a place where anonymity and unaccountability were virtually synonymous and practically guaranteed, to a place where trust, authority and reputation are the only attributes that really matter. You may want to argue here that as far as journalism and journalists were concerned these are attributes that have always been in play and yes, offline this is certainly the case. This 'simple' move, however, also removes authority from websites and places it squarely upon their users.

Going digital isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a complete transformation in the way journalism is done. One of the difficult things about doing journalism, or media of any kind, in the digital and social age is that it seems so simple — in other words, it feels a lot like the way things used to be done: you write things and then you publish them, only you do it on the internet instead of in print.

Going digital isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a complete transformation in the way journalism is done

Maybe you put in some links if you’re feeling ambitious. Pretty simple, right? Except that seeing it this way ignores the fundamental ways in which the practice of journalism has been completely changed by the web, as Guardian deputy editor Katharine Viner noted in an excellent speech on Wednesday. In her introduction, Viner — who is also editor-in-chief of the new Australian edition of the Guardian (please see our disclosure below) — talked about an interview she had with a prospective employee. When she asked this print journalist how he would adapt to a digital role, he said: “Well, I’ve been using computers for years.”

Studie: Twitter kein Ersatz für News-Portale

Bei Großereignissen wie Naturkatastrophen und Sportereignissen hat sich Twitter längst als Nachrichtenkanal etabliert. Viele Nutzer gehen davon aus, dass sie über den Mikrobloggingdienst schneller Informationen beziehen als über News-Portale. Eine neue Studie der Unis von Edinburgh und Glasgow hat 51 Millionen Tweets über einen Zeitraum von elf Wochen verglichen. Das Ergebnis: Alte und neue Medien liegen nahezu gleichauf. Von Felix Disselhoff Um das zu überprüfen, haben die Wissenschaftler Tweets mit den Nachrichten von BBC, CNN, Google News, New York Times, Guardian, Reuters, The Register und Wired verglichen.

Happy Fingers:The Art of Tablet Storytelling - EJO - European Journalism Observatory : EJO

Tablets have the potential to take it to a new level, but newspapers and broadcasters have not yet found the best ways to present their stories on tablets. Many still think that cutting and pasting their copy from print editions or their websites will suffice. The result is that media applications end up being clumsy to use and don’t exploit the full potential of the touch screen and other digital dimensions of the device.

This study looks at some of the good, and not so good, examples of this new technology in use. Even with some of the best known newspapers like the New York Times, often stumbles in the way it designs stories for tablets. Screenshot of the The New York Times The Guardian too can sometimes be equally unimaginative version of a traditional print page, but it has recently made a concerted effort to focus on tablet storytelling. The key point is that fingers matter. Screenshot of the Helsingin Sanomat Screenshot of Wired Saila Kiuttu. Die „Arroganz der Macht“ – Reporterlegende Charles Lewis über PRISM, die Zukunft des Journalismus, die Gier der Verlage und Soziale Netzwerke.

Charles Lewis ist einer der profiliertesten Journalisten der USA. 1989 kündigte er beim investigativen Fernsehmagazin „60 Minutes“ von CBS und gründete mit dem Center for Public Integrity in Washington eine Non-Profit-Organisation für investigativen Journalismus.

Bekannt wurde die Einrichtung vor allem für die Offshore-Leaks, einen riesigen Datensatz über Steueroasen. Lewis selbst unterrichtet darüber hinaus am Investigative-Reporting-Workshop der American University, ist Autor mehrerer Bücher und wurde für seine Recherchen vom PEN-Club der USA mit dem „First-Amendment-Award“ ausgezeichnet. In diesem Jahr ist er einer der Speaker des Scoopcamps – der Innovationskonferenz für Onlinemedien, die am 13. September in Hamburg stattfindet (Der Vortrag von Lewis wird übrigens, wie einige andere auch, per Live-Stream übertragen ). Charles Lewis: Ich bin nicht pessimistisch – nur realistisch t3n.de: Mr.
