Jarvis: Video Part Of The Social Conversation
CUNY journalism professor and author Jeff Jarvis says broadcasters need to rethink how video is playing out in people’s lives, especially younger viewers who see it as an element of conversation. In an interview with NetNewsCheck editor Michael Depp, he also remains adamant that media companies need to work with platform-publishers like Facebook and Google.
TV Can’t Thrive As Phony ‘Three-Legged Dog’
Jeff Jarvis and David Smith, the two keynoters at TVNewsCheck‘s NewsTECHForum in New York this week, offered the prescription for a broadcasting renaissance: revamped news content with “true, human” voices and a new broadcast standard that can keep pace in a “fast-track world.”
Jarvis Keynotes NewsTECHForum On Dec. 16
The second day of the second annual NewsTECHForum conference from TVNewsCheck and Sports Video Group will feature Jeff Jarvis, noted digital media blogger, director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism and author of Geeks Bearing Gifts: Imagining New Futures for News.
Jeff Jarvis, director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the CUNY Graduate Center, speaking at a “Future of Journalism” event at Baruch College: “You ask what the future of news is? I have no friggin’ idea. No one does.”
Dean Starkman on the future of news: “According to this [‘future-of-news’] consensus, the future points toward a network-driven system of journalism in which news organizations will play a decreasingly important role. News won’t be collected and delivered in the traditional sense. It will be assembled, shared, and to an increasing degree, even gathered, by a sophisticated readership, one that is so active that the word ‘readership’ will no longer apply. Let’s call it a user-ship or, better, a community.”
