The Economist special report on the future of news makes for delightful reading. A key insight is that user participation, also known as user generated content (UGC), is not a fad but rather a better reflection of how we shared information before the arrival of mass media. Given our inherent social nature as a species, it shouldn’t be a surprise.
As a small side-note, it was fun to note that tumblr also made it on the cover (top left), along with the usual new media companies.
This week’s cover. The internet is taking the news industry back to the conversational culture of the era before mass media.
