'We the Media' by Dan Gillmor
I was in Edinburgh today, wandered into Blackwell’s and bought Dan Gillmor’s book ‘We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People”.
Has anyone read it? Published last summer, it’s about the future of journalism.
There are a lot of good quotes - I will include some here later.
The publishes explain that the book is “a wake up call to newsmakers - politicians, business executives, celebrities - and the marketeers and PR flacks who promote them… Big media has lost its monopoly on the news, thanks to the Internet… . newsmakers [must] play by the new rules and shift from control to engagement.”
