FungibleWe don't realize how much news media has changed in the past fifteen years. We really don't. I'm not talking about digital first or about...
Right... because Wikipedia is such a credible source... RT @ivanlajara: "I think journalism is being replaced." http://bit.ly/KA53CeMelissa Lyttle

@ivanlajara My problem with this is that it cites everything newspapers do except news. ProPublica isn't 6th on a list, they're the model.Danny Willis
@melissalyttle @ivanlajara I don't believe Wikipedia is even mentioned in that piece, so your comment kinda doesn't work.Andy Boyle
@melissalyttle @ivanlajara Also, do you really think most people go to http://tampabay.com for basic Tampa info? They don't. #wikipediaAndy Boyle
@ivanlajara People want to know what's going on in their community. We should tell them, not cut beat writer positions and focus on TMZ crapDanny Willis
@andymboyle @melissalyttle @ivanlajara "Basic info" -- is that the role or purpose of journalism?Michael Kruse
@michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Is http://tampabay.com not meant to be a destination site for Tampa Bay-related information?Andy Boyle
@melissalyttle @ivanlajara Sadly, credibility is in the eye of the consumer. Wiki = fact for many, many readers...Greg Kendall-Ball
@michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Explaining things is one part of journalism, I would say. They even give a Pulitzer for it.Andy Boyle
@andymboyle @melissalyttle @ivanlajara "Basic info." Explanatory Pulitzer. Not the same thing.Michael Kruse
@michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Point me where on http://tampabay.com I can find the mayor of Tampa's name and its population.Andy Boyle
@michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Preferably in an easy-to-find spot that isn't located within a story.Andy Boyle
@andymboyle @michaelkruse @ivanlajara i don't know dude, you tell me... http://bo.st/IHYds2Melissa Lyttle
@andymboyle @michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Nobody EVER looked to the paper to find basic almanac info like population. #StrawManCraig Pittman
@ivanlajara @dannyjwillis @journaphotolist No, that's not it. Upping our journalism game doesn't necessarily mean people flock to us.Andy Boyle
@craigtimes @michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara But shouldn't a newspaper website contain info about the cities it covers?Andy Boyle
@craigtimes @michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Says the guy who helped build MyLawmaker for just this purpose.Andy Boyle
@melissalyttle @michaelkruse @ivanlajara Yup, we don't do it, either. Which is why this guy's points are valid.Andy Boyle
@andymboyle @michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara Should it? If it wants to remain relevant, probably so (says MyLawmaker's biggest fan.)Craig Pittman
@andymboyle @journaphotolist @DannyJWillis @craigtimes good sites should offer all. News, explanatory sauce, how-tos, wiki, cats.Ivan Lajara
@andymboyle @journaphotolist @DannyJWillis @craigtimes And 'site' shouldn't be limited to platform, eitherIvan Lajara
@craigtimes @michaelkruse @melissalyttle @ivanlajara That's for an individual http://newspaper.com's owners to decide.Andy Boyle
@andymboyle @journaphotolist @craigtimes @melissalyttle @michaelkruse @DannyJWillis Only one thing left to do http://flic.kr/p/bmQye1Ivan Lajara
@journaphotolist @ivanlajara @andymboyle Exactly. We don't have the resources to do everything and that post is right for non-news. So, newsDanny Willis
@andymboyle @journaphotolist @craigtimes @melissalyttle @michaelkruse @DannyJWillis Sorry, this one http://bit.ly/ICH6nxIvan Lajara

@ivanlajara @andymboyle @journaphotolist @craigtimes @melissalyttle @DannyJWillis Super-duper.Michael Kruse
