Nano. Saudiarabia. Are institutions really problematic? Institutions get perceived by most frames of reference as problematic. The only exceptions are those who have climbed to the top of their hierarchies, hold power over most of the underlings and benefit from the perpetuation of their positions in an institution. For the rest of us, institutions wreak havoc and do harm. That last paragraph was written to feel reassuring. It invites you into a disengaged tribal feeling of collusion and commiseration.

Re: Re: Re: The New Literacy cel4145, December 2, 2002 But I would be glad to address your comments if you like. The problem is that it's difficult to engage directly with anyone on the possibiltiies of new literacies who begins with a priori assumptions such as in your previous posts to Stephen If you call it The New Illiteracy you can predict that the writer--me, in this case--thinks the schools and the colleges have to recognize what our students bring to us and create a pedagogy that seeks to overcome those limitations, as well as School, in other words, aims to provide students with skills, knowledge, and attitudes that the larger culture does not. To me, this is more of a teacher-centered pedagogy, rather than student-centered, because it is based on looking at student limitations--at evaluating student abilities against the teachers supplied measuring stick. Now this might work if we can assume that our culture and the literacies necessary to function in our culture were static.

See how it works here. The future of social media in journalism will see the death of “social media.” That is, all media as we know it today will become social, and feature a social component to one extent or another. After all, much of the web experience, particularly in the way we consume content, is becoming social and personalized. But more importantly, these social tools are inspiring readers to become citizen journalists by enabling them to easily publish and share information on a greater scale. The future journalist will be more embedded with the community than ever, and news outlets will build their newsrooms to focus on utilizing the community and enabling its members to be enrolled as correspondents.

The news media is experiencing a renaissance. As we end the year, its state in 2009 can be summarized as a year of turmoil, layoffs and cutbacks in an industry desperately seeking to reinvent its business model and content.
But despite the thousands of journalism jobs lost, the future has much hope and opportunity for those that are willing to adapt to a changing industry. Much of that change is happening now. And in the coming year, news organizations will look to approach monetization and content experimentation that is focused on looking at the web in a new way. News in 2010 will blur the lines between audience and creator more than ever in an era of social media. 1.

Lecture to Falmouth « Emily Bell’s blog. May 8, 2009 at 5:25 pm It is a great privilege to be asked to be a visiting professor to University College Falmouth, and I would like to thank Geoffrey Smith, Paul Inman and the faculty for bestowing this honour on me, and I really look forward to being involved in the life of the college and helping in whatever ways I can. I look forward to visiting a beautiful place I’ve been visiting since I was 3 more often – and most of all I look forward to pontificating in front of a captive audience.
For my first talk, I thought I would address the subject of the future of journalism, not because I can tell you what it is but because, a bit like the feature in the front of Heat magazine, it is the thing which ‘everybody is talking about’. First though I wanted to give you a bit of background about me. How I started in journalism however, in 1987, was as a trainee reporter on the wonderfully-titled ‘big farm weekly’. And by that I do not mean get noticed by making stuff up. First the good news. “Higher Education in a Web 2.0 World” Report Published. The CLEX Final Report The final report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Changing Learner Experience (CLEX) entitled” Higher Education in a Web 2.0 World” has just been published. The report built on work which began last year included a “Report of the review of current and developing international practice in the use of social networking (Web 2.0) in higher education” (available in PDF Format) to which I contributed the section which provided a history of use of Web 2.0 in the UK.
Article In Today’s Education Guardian The official launch of the CLEX report has been accompanied by an article entitled “Time to get with the program” published in today’s Education Guardian. As I mentioned in a blog post on How Is HE Embracing Web 2.0? How Is Web 2.0 Changing HE?” Published yesterday I had been interviewed by the author of the article, Anthea Lipsett, last week. The article in the Guardian begins with a description of a student experience which is at ease with the social web: Discussion. Jeff jarvis, openess and the internet. By Jeff Jarvis Watch the Video… In the company of nudists, no one is naked. We are entering an age of publicness when more and more we will live, do business, and govern in the open.
Some see danger there. I see opportunity. The evidence of the trend toward openness is all around. Young people are sharing their lives online via Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Google (GOOG), and whatever comes next. In business, in the wake of the financial crisis, the public and government will demand far greater disclosure. And in Washington, President Obama has promised a new transparency in government—against the sure resistance of bureaucrats and politicians. Benefits of Openness Are there dangers in publicness? But we also need to understand the benefits of living and working in the open; that is the discussion that is being ignored. Business Opportunities There are business opportunities in this new transparency. Helping People Create and Connect Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do?
