Recommendation

To continue to publish newsworthy stories while reducing government intrusion, journalists need to consider how they communicate and with whom. getAbstract recommends this edited excerpt from new media expert Clay Shirky’s contribution to the anthology Journalism After Snowden to journalists, reporters and those with an interest in the complex relationship between the press and governments.

Take-Aways

  • A global news network – with several companies from various nations reporting on major news – is becoming a practical reality.
  • “Object-based reporting” – that is reporting based on solid documentation such as voice recording – adds to the credibility of leaked information.
  • To continue reporting on newsworthy events without the risk of government intervention, journalists will need to upgrade their skills.
