In the interesting way that synchronicity occurs I saw this post today about great use of data in creating journalism and if you haven’t already seen it you might find it interesting.
It is about accident data in Norway.

Thanks Bridie – I guess the one point I was making on that front is that by involving users you lower the cost of production and distribution, and that is of course part of the business model. It may be that the old models of pay-for-access by readers and advertisers will not work online and that membership models and indirect revenues (which are both funding some news websites already) become more prevalent.

The LCD factor is something I’m hoping to cover in a forthcoming blog post!

I came to the lecture and was very interested in what you had to say but unfortunately didn’t manage to get my question in. The lecture was clearly addressed to a particular audience and very cogent and coherent but it only goes so far and looks at one side of the equation – which I guess was your remit for the particular audience and situation – and I completely understand that journalism has to reshape itself around the technology and be accountable- but there didn’t seem to be anything to address how to make it pay – whether for large media organisations or for individual journalists.

Dealing with big stories like MPs expenses, Wikileaks or even the local council meetings takes lots hours and lots of effort. Making power accountable can be expensive or time consuming and even journalists have to pay the rent so if no-one can make a living from journalism as there is always someone doing it for free or cheaper who will be held to account then?

Nor did it seem to address the lowest common denominator factor – having worked on a large portal for a number of years and we could have a story about the causes of the Iraq War on the front or a scantily clad starlet you could bet that the starlet would get more clicks.

However, I am very glad I came along to hear this, and found it interesting and will continue to strive towards the best pistachio (my favourite) ice cream
