Golden Age for Journalists

Organ Grinder on Guardian Media reports the comments of Reuters Media President Chris Ahearn who describes a golden age of media where:

"

Reuters would augment its professional journalism with the source material
and eyewitness accounts of millions of people around the world"

where reporters work with specialised communities of reliable and trusted
sources and stringers, and where technology provides new tools and information
that paper-based journalists could only dream about.

"I see individual blogging as very liberating for journalism"

"Some people snicker, but as soon as we get over this crisis of confidence we will realise that this is a golden age of journalism. I see tools and techniques and methods that allow things paper-based journalists would be so jealous of. It's a different kind of workflow."
