Today, countless bloggers are debating the future of journalism. Journalists like Jay Rosen are churning out new ideas about the interactive news, and the framework for a web-inspired future is being built every day.
Mishikea Brathwait, Travis Campbell, Loren Feldman, and Candice Quates will be working together on the reporting trip, and Know More Media will be covering the whole event.
Welcome to the final installment of my interview with Team New Orleans reporter, Travis Campbell as part of my deceptively simple feature: Five Easy Questions. In the spirit of Jack Nicholson’s mad piano player, I run a serialized set of weekly interviews with writing pioneers at ThePublishingSpot.com—delivering some practical, unexpected advice about web publishing.
Jason Boog:
Some Chartreuse readers asked things like "why send more reporters when the Times-Picayune and other journalists are already covering the story?" How do you answer these critics? What will the New Orleans Team bring to the story that no other media outlet has brought so far?
Travis Campbell:
We are not competing with the local media...
We are talking to your community and to Char's blogging community. Right now we have your attention, with that we hope to inspire all of you to help out New Orleans.
Jason Boog:
You're now a part of the crazy world of new media. What are your favorite websites and blogs to visit? How is your work changing with these new outlets? What do you think journalists will be doing in ten years?
Travis Campbell:
Wow. 10 years is like 2 to 3 lifetimes in Internet years, and I can't speculate on where journalist will be. But i do know its up to all of us to create what we want that future to be.
To quote Nas, "The World Is Yours."
As for my favorite sites I daily visit The Blogging Times, Chartreuse, Rocketboom , News Today, The New York Times, Cool Hunting to name a few. Thanks for the interview and shining light on this project!
