Seriously though, equating journalism with PR? Sure, there’s plenty more money in PR – just like there’s more money in robbing a bank rather than working behind the till.

You seem to miss the point that what makes good journalism is good stories. A good story will be read – ‘sharing’ is secondary to this.

I find it sad that young people entering journalism are being told that the way you distribute a story is more important than the story itself.

I didn’t get into journalism so that I could spend hours on twitter or my company’s content management system. I got into journalism because I wanted to break stories.

Twitter is a tool but it is also a distraction from attending meetings, trawling through minutes and good old picking up the phone.

Like I said, a good story will always be read.

Publishing its not dead, its just waiting for cheap e-paper.
At ancient times news spread person to person, stories were told by friends and older family members. Then come the book, then the radio and cinema and tv. Now everything its coming together, say iPad. content creators will always have a place on a content based system. However they must found ways to place their content on the system. Normal guy has found ways to share his “non pro” content. Now its time for the companies and pros, to change and forget the past and embrace the reality.

Traditional journalism will “blow away on the winds of the internet”…

Journalists are like the itinerant bards of the past: full of useful skills even as their old roles disappear…

Hi Pete. I just wanted to correct some factual inaccuracies in your comment. I have worked in several newsrooms: I began my career working in the TV/Radio newsroom for for the CBC in Toronto, before reporting at the United Nations HQ in New York and then working for several years as a researcher and producer for BBC Current Affairs in London. As for your opinions, you’re entitled to them of course, but I wish you could have expressed them in a more civilized manner.

Now that I’ve set the record straight on my journalism experience – have you ever worked in PR?

what a complete tosser this bloke is – he cleary has never worked in a newsroom. PR the ‘same’ as journalism. No it ain’t Philip, journalism deals in facts and in the real world not the fake of a 21st centry wannabee. PR spins opinion, a view and often lies, for cash. A very big difference.
