Trust me, I'm just as saddened by newspapers disappearing as the next writer, but I disagree with you. First, Twitter isn't trying to "save" anything - some people are just using it to connect and share new ideas. <BR/><BR/>Second, just today I went to a panel with Jay Harris (publisher of "Mother Jones"), William Hack (a journalist for 45 years), Lynne d Johnson (journalist and blogger who's in tune with social media) and Molly Sheridan (a younger, quick-witted professional journalist). The message was clear: <STRONG>The forums through which we we receive our news are evolving, but there will <I>always</I> be a need for good journalism.</STRONG> I strongly believe that. Because at its heart, journalism is a public service. We don't get into journalism for the money. It's the desire to help others through knowledge and communication. And that desire will always be there. <BR/><BR/>And so, five years from now, journalism may look very different - content may be packaged differently, it may be only online, it may be a combination of print and online, it may involve a myriad of video/audio/cooperative media - but I have no doubt that it will exist. No. Doubt.<BR/><BR/>@the bare bohemian - Hi, girl!Amy Segretihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936316416021360050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775300563363899039.post-39542082311230511972009-04-06T21:35:00.000-06:002009-04-06T21:35:00.000-06:00pssssst. it's Gypsy. :)pssssst. it's Gypsy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775300563363899039.post-82108819612605564792009-04-06T21:01:00.000-06:002009-04-06T21:01:00.000-06:00Nope, journalism is dying.

It's suffering a self-inflicted death, and silly tricks like Twitter are not going to save it.<BR/><BR/>Prediction: You'll look back on these posts in five years and realize how naive you were.
