What do you think about the futur of journalist ?

With SpinSpotter by a system of social crowdsourcer you can edit what you read you don’t trust.
This social tool will help the press to increase the trust rate on internet…
Everybody know that the press/media market is in trouble with main problems to resolve :

A solution can be the hyperlocalisation, the Bay Area News Project with the NYTimes will be propose local news as reported on Techcrunch “The content will be used for The New York Times’ local San Francisco editions on Friday and Saturday”
Effectively, the first solution we can imagine to sale easier information to a target community is to sale a local information, crowsourced with social functions and sharing this new deal can bring a massive local traffic to the newspaper website if the local community is properly channeled. A new challenge for community manager and social manager :-)

Newspaper will become digital, LG works on a e-newspaper really similar to a newspaper (via MacWorld)
The first advantage of a e-newspaper : have only one support and refresh it in a frequency, we can imaging a business model that a reader decide how many times he will receive update and what categories of news and pay in relation to his decision.

e-newspaper will open discussion, conversation and animate communities :-)

The economist explained they will be more active on twitter and open a full time job to manage trafic and fan communities.
The Economist Fan Page on Facebook is interesting with good content.
I am convinced that between two magazines, the most interesting it the most interactive
