Sreenath Sreenivasan: Bullish on Journalism & Whatever Comes Next
Stuck in freeway traffic this morning, I switched on local news radio station KCBS to find out the cause of the delay. Instead, I heard a few minutes of an interview with Sreenath Sreenivasan of Columbia University Journalism School.
Despite the closing of many U.S. newspapers, Sreenivasan described himself as “bullish” on journalism. He sees the American public hungering for news and consuming news and opinion in many different formats, including blogs.
Here’s the description of his web page, SreeTips.com: “The best blogs for and by journalists and how you can join the blogging revolution as a reader and/or creator of blogs. Also: Podcasting, Web 2.0, wikis, RSS and whatever’s next.” The layout is simple, the links well chosen.
Perhaps the end of print journalism will be the beginning of something we cannot yet imagine.
