Jarvis on the Death of Journalism 2.0: the Digg Effect
Jeff Jarvis (creator of Entertainment Weekly) once again waxes eloquently on the death of journalism:
When I do my scary blogboy dance for old-media companies, I warn them that their real successor - the true media mogul of the age - is not someone they know, not someone named Murdoch, Hearst, or Newhouse. He is Kevin Rose, the scruffy geek behind Digg.com, a site where users edit the news. In him, we see the media industry of the future.
While anyone should be amused by a “blogboy dance” (what is that? hopping around with treo and powerbook precariously balanced on your head?) it is most certainly an attempt to soften the your-business-plan-is-dying blow.
