The Age of Remix Journalism

The Internet – the final frontier.
It’s on the Internet that journalism is ever changing, and whether or not that’s a good thing depends on whom you ask.
We live in an age where information is available to anyone at the touch of a button, and that said information could be modified, edited, deleted or rewritten [...]

This just in: USA Today and Huffington Post excel in election coverage

Multimedia
The first thing I noticed about The Huffington Post is that it lacked the professional feel of USA Today. While both were timely – updating almost simultaneously with similar numbers and figures – Huffington’s charts were from other sources.

My suitemates.

Rise of the Machines

Imagine a world where machines ruled everything and humans were merely nothing but slaves to their flashing lights and fancy abilities. Sounds like something out of a “Terminator” film, doesn’t it? Well, take a look around – it’s a lot more real than you may think.

Web 2.0. The Power of Two.

Journalism’s new “participatory” model is different because of exactly that – user participation.

There was nothing else you could do but wait for the next day’s issue and [...]
