Jay, Meet Jeff. Jeff, Meet Jay.
Jay Rosen of NYU and Jeff Jarvis of Advance.net meet, greet and interview each other about journalism, audience, and blogging. Read the results on PressThink (Rosen) or BuzzMachine (Jarvis). Here’s an excerpt:
Rosen: “Now the audience has a printing press is a good way to put it. But my guess is that you thought you were in touch with the audience before the Net started changing things around, that you had a feel, kinda knew what people wanted, etc. This tells us that in journalism what counts as knowledge of the people “out there” reflects available technology for reaching those people — and for being reached by them.”
Good stuff. Go read it.
