"The news of my death have been greatly exaggerated," Mark Twain quipped about the rumors about his disappearance published in a newspaper of the time. The same could be said today of journalism, often given up for dead in front of the advance of the Internet. Or at least that's what we thought when, in the spring of 2009, we started working on this book. At that time there was talk only of journalists summarily dismissed and unstoppable collapse in advertising revenue. Historical warheads could be seen forced to stop forever the presses, others were sold for the symbolic sum of one dollar (in the case of the American weekly "Newsweek"). Among insiders favorite pastime was to predict when it would was last copy of the "New emmy awards 2011 nominations York Times" (in 2014 or in 2043, depending on the crystal ball used). As for the perpetrators of this desperate situation, it was obvious: the Network and the digital revolution were lowering production costs, multiplying the offer and bringing the value of the news close to zero.
All true, clear and even a little 'alarming. Except that, to look good, in the digital jungle there were only the "parasites" to Google which complained the media mogul Rupert Murdoch or the hosts of "bloggers in pajamas" ready to take the place of journalists working free (or almost) and without guaranteeing the same degree of reliability. There were also young reporter who told forgotten wars with Twitter and a smartphone, computer designers provided automated software to provide news more and more accurate and fast (in the case of the Monkey-prey robot from which the title this book), lit newsroom that pointed on new ways of providing information. In short, despite having some foundation, the news of the death of journalism appeared to us, at closer inspection, a little 'exaggerated. If you only tried to move the look over the dominant rhetoric it was discovered that, rather than leave the skin, our job looked pretty on the verge of change. To become what it was not clear to anyone, much less to us. So, to understand something more and to shake off the depression that is breathed in the air, between 2009 and 2010, we began a journey that has brought us to Chicago, New York, Washington, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Brussels and other European capitals. emmy awards 2011 nominations The book you hold in your hands is the account of this adventure, which proved to be more invigorating than we had hoped. Along the way we have in fact met a group of pioneers ready to confirm that the joke of Mark Twain can also be applied to journalism. Whether it is to defuse the lies of politics through a lie detector digital (that of PolitiFact which is discussed in the first chapter) or to tell the Obama victory through new forms of storytelling (as do the so-called "rebels of the New York Times "), the ideas of the innovators we interviewed represent emmy awards 2011 nominations the first step of a new media ecosystem to be built.
A little 'as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (who in the' 70s were preparing the personal computer emmy awards 2011 nominations revolution in their garage), also the protagonists of the stories that were read to dream of making the enterprise: reinvent the news of the digital millennium. Some of them have always journalism in the blood; others we have found for the case and discovered she loved him after. From the ideological point of view are located on a broad spectrum, ranging from the integrated subversive: Julian Assange is wanted emmy awards 2011 nominations by the Pentagon, the Polish designer Jacek Utko chased by the biggest publishers in the world, eager to give him a job. Someone spends the day typing fast news on Twitter (kids Speedy Gonzales of BNO News), others do not write complete sentences, but lines of computer code (the journo-hackers last chapter), others items of laws ( Icelandic parliamentarian Birgitta Jónsdóttir). If there is a thread that ties these different personalities is an attitude, a disposition emmy awards 2011 nominations towards emmy awards 2011 nominations the present. Instead of crying for a difficult environment, use the tools that the historical moment makes available to them to follow the same demon that inspired earlier generations of reporters: research and dissemination of truth.
