Official.fm - The Do It Yourself Music Club. The creator of Google News on how journalism will change in the next 5 years. I just watched a rather long but fascinating interview with Google News’ creator Krishna Bharat at the IJ-7 “innovation journalism” conference at Stanford University.
Bharat openly discusses where the Google News concept stemmed from, the role Google News currently it plays in modern day journalism and towards the end of his fireside chat, how he envisages journalism to change over the next 5 years. You can watch the video in its entirety below but it was the latter point on how professional journalism would develop over the next few years that particularly interested me. Bharat is convinced professional journalism is here to stay and while understandably unsure as to how things will develop, he briefly lists a number of points he believes will take shape over the course of the next few years.
FYI none involves the death of professional journalism, or paying for it either for that matter. I’d agree with all the above but would add two more: Bandcamp.
