Info Dump

Want to see the future of professional journalism? Check out this post from WKRN's former newspaper reporter turned broadcasting-and-blogging investigative TV reporter Trent Seibert...

Writes Seibert:

Because I am so new to the world of television reporting, I am still trying to coordinate my reporting so that as soon as one of my pieces is on the air, then a written version of the story, as well as supporting documents such as these, are on this blog simultaneously.

I particularly like making the building blocks for my reports available to everyone so that they can see what I'm basing my story on. In addition, viewers may look at these documents and see something I don't. I'd like to hear from folks who do.

He's been a blogger for only about a week and already he grasps the power of interactive journalism and the truth that, for any reporter who has a sizeable audience, the audience collectively knows more about almost any story than the reporter does.

Here's a sad something about where journalism already is.

Stands to reason: standards and integrity are what should make journalism. They are out there in droves, but they don't get our attention, and they certainly don't "make" news.

Thanks for the mention, Bill. I appreciate it.
