New News and FoM

Hi –

 

Example of how VNA reveals roles and allows discovery and elaboration of emergence. In this case, for a ‘traditional’ news model.

 

New model for news organizations — and customer communities

• Some reporters become “beat bloggers” tapping into networks of bloggers to bring complex stories into focus.
• “Community weavers” create a sense of community among the former audience and with formal news entities.
• “Information architects” make intelligible the vast amounts of data and images now available.
• While editors continue to be sense makers, connecting facts and making story lines visible, ultimately who filters news from noise, how it happens, and who pays for it is still unfolding.
• Even the definition of “news” is up for grabs as memes — cultural units of information equivalent to genes in the body — replace an event orientation to story

 

 

Also, noteworthy to this thread is the upcoming Future of Media Summit July 14 2008 : Silicon Valley, USA | July 15, 2008 : Sydney, Australia. This annual transcontinental is highly participatory and furnishes seamless links by video and online discussion for compelling cross-continental panels and conversations. Highly recommended!

It is at the Computer History Museum, Mountain View, California, USA which is worth a visit by itself! Registration is US$149 and US$99 for members of partner organizations.

FoM will have a prediction market. Markets are essential complex
systems. Markets are critical to KM, orgs, productivity, innovation
and growth.

Once a person said to me, “The reason I study, pursue networks is to
understand markets.” That about sums it up.

-- Prediction markets for the future of media. Summit attendees and
other media leaders globally will collectively make predictions for
key issues
in the future of media, such as the death of print newspapers
and when IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) overtakes broadcast TV.
