Independence in journalism
What does it mean to be independent as a citizen journalist or blogger? Why is independence considered one of the most fundamental precepts in journalism? In this 7-minute video, we hear from: • Jay Rosen, chairman of the journalism department at New York University, co-founder of NewAssignment.net and founder of the PressThink blog (watch his full video interview) • Debra Galant, founder and editor of citizen media site Baristanet.com (watch her full video interview) • Mike Orren, founder and editor of citizen media site Pegasus News (watch his full video interview) • Michael Tippett, co-founder of NowPublic, a community photo and video site (hear his comments about citizen journalism here) • Doc Searls, pioneering blogger and journalist (watch his full video interview) "Being paid to post, there's something inherently whorish about that."
