Computer Applied Journalism - II
lesson is an assertion that seems the most paradoxical. But no, that's the gist of the findings of the second class of Professor Alfonso.
Noting that traditional journalism is increasingly innervated technology (think of electronic pagination, collecting and sending data in the form of files, or even the spread of a sector-based digital system of bar codes to control the distribution of copies) is the digital journalism attract an increasing number of readers. Now if only a tenth of the Italians informed through the newspapers, eleven million visitors a day instead of the network. But how do you retrieve the information via the web? A simple and fast, as demonstrated in class, is to use the so-called news aggregators like GoogleNews or italianews . Perfect examples of how the network can find a multitude of news, many of which appear, however, replicated : one photocopy of the other. What changes is the agency head or the public. It is then up to you to choose which "version" to read, giving more confidence to a source rather than another.
The common misconception that the web sees the perfect habitat for the proliferation of hoaxes is denied, so the network itself, so vast that it can not lie. In fact, the user can at any time, see how he is offered.
The real problem of digital journalism is rather to be slave to a constantly updated . Everything must be in real time and the texts are to be minimized. More is more synthetic it is fast. Today the important thing is to have the information, how to use it is the later. So much so that often the news agency notes are simple, direct, without even changing the title just to beat the competition agguerritissima. So then the true journalist is not what you consume your shoes, as I said before, but what one consumes the fingertips: a keyboard, of course.
