Sequel post by Mathew Ingram, author of last weeks interesting piece on the competitors of journalism that dont even look like journalism. This week: Competitors of journalism that DO look like journalism but mostly arent. Eg. brand newsrooms like Coca Colas, or the new online mag by Mozilla. In Germany, Curved would fit into the description. Anyway, his conclusion is the following warning against journalistic hubris: To expect that all of the content from these other players will necessarily be of lower quality simply because they aren’t “real” journalistic or media entities is delusional. Some of it will clearly be good enough for readers, and some of those readers will be well-served to the point where they no longer need traditional sources. That is what the new media landscape looks like, whether we like it or not.
