In a world of satellite communications and fiber optics, real-time journalism is routine; but now we journalists had added the experti of the audience.
This book is about journalism’s transformation from a 20th仓鼠吃什么蔬菜 century mass-media structure to something profoundly more grassroots and democratic. In the 20th订机票电话 century, making the news was almost entirely the province of journalists;the people we covered, or “news-makers”; and the legions of public relations and marketing people who manipulated everyone. The economics of publishing and broadcasting created large, arrogant institutions----call it Big Media.
Big Media treated the news as a lecture. We told you what the news was. (If we were television and you complained, we ignored you entirely unless the complaint arrived on a libel lawyer’s letterhead.) Tomorrow’s news reporting and production will be more of a conversation, or a minar. The lines will blur between producers and consumers, changing the role of both in ways we’re only beginning to grasp now. Thecommunication network itlf will be a medium for everyone’s voice, not just the few who can afford to buy multimilli

This evolution----from journalism as lecture to journalism as a conversation or minar----will force the various communities of interest to adapt. Everyone, from journalists to the people we cover to our sources and the former audience, must change their ways.
Governments are very uneasy about the free flow of information, and allow it only to a point. Legal clampdowns and technological measures to prevent copyright infringemnet could bring a day when we need permission to publish, or when publishing from the edge feels too risky. The “copyright cartel” has targeted some of the esntial innovations of tomorrow’s news, such as the peer –to-peer file sharing that does make infringemnet easier but also gives citizen journalists one of the only affordable ways to distribute what they create. Governments insisit on the right to track everything we do, but more and more politicians and bureaucrats shut off access to what the public needs to know---information that increasingly surfaces through the efforts of nontraditional media.
In short, we cannot just assume that lf-publishing from the edges of our networks---the grassroots journalism we need sodesperately---will survive, much less thrive. We will need to defend it, with the same vigor we defend other liberties. Instead of a news anarchy or lockdown, I ek a balance that simultaneously prerves the best of today’s system and encourages tomorrow’s emergent, lf-asmbling journalism.
The ri of the citizen journalist will help us listen. The ability of anyone to make the news will give new voice to people who’ve felt voiceless---and who words we need to hear. They are showing all of us----citizen, journalist, newsmaker---new ways of talking, of learning. They may help spark a renaissance of the notion, now threatened, of a truly informed citizenry. Self—government demands no less, and we’ll all benefit if we do it right. Let’s have this conversation,for everyone’s sake.

America, born in vocal disnt, did something esntial early on . The U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment has many facets, including its protection of the right of protest and practice of religion, but freedom of speech is the most fundamental part of a free society.

Personal journalism is also not a new invention. People have been stirring the pot since before the nation’s founding; one of the most prominent in America’s early history was Ben Franklin, who Pennsylvania Gazette was civic-minded and occasionally controversial.
Pamphleteers-----before the First Amendment was enshrined into law and guaranteed a free press, published their writings at great personal risk.
