This is the initial post for the Jon, Andy and Dan book project. It's a working title, as we are in the infant stages. Our book is a collection of thoughts and ideas about the industry of journalism- where it's been, where it is now and where it is headed- all from working journalists with various backgrounds. The reason we are undertaking his project is simple- all three of the authors believe in this industry. While we agree it is going through a transformation, both macro and micro, this restructuring makes it ripe for fresh and bold ideas. Which is why we are reaching out to the journalism community, with plans to compile these ideas into a book to be published sometime this year.
This blog is meant as a platform for interested parties to follow our project, as we will be providing content as we progress. Your feedback and comments are welcome! We would not be doing our job if we did not encourage engagement from the journalism community as discussion is the foundation of innovation.

Yeah, what he said.
ReplyDeleteWell, besides wanting to get rid of that zero in the comments window, I wanted to add that we really hope this project not only will shed some light on what has gone wrong and how we can fix it, but also that a fresh dialogue will begin among not only the frontline soldiers who are feeling the pinch the most, but also the managers, editors and higher ups who remain open to seeing a light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.
At a time like this it's easy to get down and throw your hands up in the air and simply say, "I give up." But now, more than ever, is the time to dig in and fight for something all of us at one time or another believed in whole heartedly and still want to see survive.
End of sermon.
