Endangered Ecosystem

“Wishful thinking” was mentioned several times during the Medienhaus Vienna conference, where experts from all over the world fervently discussed the future of journalism.
Phil Meyer, the doyen of American journalism research, puts great hope in the public’s willingness to donate and the philanthropical gestures of media financers, as they’ll become key in helping journalism survive when it can no longer be financed by streams of advertising income flowing to publishing houses. Foreseeably, billions of advertising dollars will instead flood to search engines like Google or social networks Read the rest of this entry »

“Journalism 2020: Maintaining Professionalism, Regaining Credibility”
Organized by Medienhaus Wien with collaboration from the European Journalism Observatory and MAZ, the Journalism 2020 conference welcomed journalists, academics and professionals from the world of journalism and communication to discuss prospects for tomorrow’s journalism. Held in in Vienna from March 18th – 20th, Journalism 2020 opened with two key speakers: Director of Guardian News and Media, Alan Rusbridger, and Director of Zeit Online, Wolfgang Blau.
According to Rusbridger and Blau, journalism – not as a profession but as an activity performed in a professional way – will still exist in 2020, although print media may not survive. If it does in fact live on, we can expect the format for print news to differ radically, with core business resting in the online sector. As it stands, solutions for a sustainable business model still remains to be seen. Rusbridger believes that if we wish to move ahead, we must keep journalism separate from its business model. “It is only a crisis,” says Rusbridger. “There has never been a better moment for journalism.” Read the rest of this entry »

Philip Meyer, author of The Vanishing Newspaper, and Alan Rusbridger, director of Guardian Media and News, open the second day of Journalism 2020 emphasizing the need to approach online journalism with a digital mindset.
Merely transposing a paper edition onto the Web site simply won’t work. With this in mind, Meyer highlights the importance of professionalizing online journalism. The United States offers online certification programs for high schools to help establish quality standards and to regulate online information, while sites like Factcheck.org and Snopes.com are pioneers in this area. Speaking of his experience at the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger advocates Jeff Jarvis’ fundamental concept of online journalism, “Cover what you do best, link to the rest,” and lists 10 principles of online journalism: Read the rest of this entry »

Who will foot the hefty bill for changes taking place in the world of journalism?
This question lingers after the curtains close at Journalism 2002: Maintaining Professionalism, Regaining Credibility, a conference held in Vienna hosted by the Medienhaus-Wien and co-organized by the EJO and MAZ. Romanus Otte, former journalist and now general manager of Welt Online owned by German publishing group Axel Springer, is confident he knows the answer. “The same people who appreciate quality journalism today will continue to pay in the future,” he says. It will be an uphill struggle for certain. Strategies will be redefined and radical changes will be introduced, yet new opportunities make this era for journalism an exciting and stimulating adventure. Springer is a publishing powerhouse in Europe, Read the rest of this entry »
