DEBATE: THE INTERNET AND THE NEWS INDUSTRY

Rosen: The Internet Has Improved Journalism

NYU professor Jay Rosen squared off with UC Berkeley’s Nicholas Carr in The Economist on the Internet’s impact on journalism. Rosen: The Internet is improving journalism by “driving towards zero the costs of getting it to people, and by vastly reducing the capital requirements for quality production. This has opened the market to more players, allowing more ideas to be tried.”
