The old media is
bogged down. It has died a natural death of age and decay. It is
time for a new journalism to emerge.
Whistleblowers, raw data, being present on news
stories, truth, and the need for the preservation of all species and forms of
life are part of it.
It is time for cyber junkies who copy and paste to give it
a rest, and instead to engage in the collective process of this emerging new journalism.
There's a need for
reporters to summon up their courage, and not just in the arena of distracting politics.
It is time to flee from the archaic forms of journalism that no longer have a place in real news. It is time for journalists who were once independent thinkers, to free themselves from the shackles of the rigid conservatism that has been induced by fear.
Now, instead
of celebrating mediocre reporting, we should all be striving for the next best
thing in journalism.
