Mediashift: Oldthink vs Newthink
Posted by inspir3d on August 12, 2006
I came across this article through digg.com, and although not specifically about Singapore, is a good read about the new media paradigms that will challenge traditional media.
Andy Ho would do well to read this article:
“Oldthink: Believing the major news organizations will always get big stories right, and not make any mistakes along the way.
Newthink: Following credible bloggers who can unearth Photoshopped photos from a war zone, mistakes in coverage or bias, and faked sources for stories in mainstream media articles.
Oldthink: Thinking professional editors are the only ones who can decide what the important stories are each day.
Newthink: Realizing we have the power to choose what’s important, whether through aggregation services such as Google News or people-powered news sites such as Digg or personalized sites such as My Yahoo.”
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
