What’s journalism’s future in social media?
-- “It’s not information overload, it’s filter failure.”
-- Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody
-- “We’re heading into an incredibly messy but also wonderful period of innovation and experimentation that combines technology and people and pushes great and outlandish ideas out into the real world. The result will be a huge number of failures but also a large number of successes. … This is why I’ve grown more and more certain that we will not lack for a supply of quality news and information.”
– Dan Gillmor’s blog, May 2009
