The Guardian have recently shown an advert about their concept of 'open journalism', the idea being that everyone has a say in current affairs and that news can be shared via social networking and other platforms in order to reach as vast an audience as possible. The advert is really interesting and gives you an insight into modern dilemmas within the media and how news stories can be treated. It raises lots of interesting questions in relation to recent events such as homeowners rights, press intrusion and the riots. The Guardian claim to give 'the whole picture' when reporting.
Here's a link to the article and video:
Guardian Open Journalism
What do you think about it? Will the idea of open journalism work? Will it mean there are more inaccuracies as people use social networking to discuss current affairs?
Make sure you are always considering new and interesting things. You need to be reading and viewing various parts of the media in order to have an opinion and be able to relate your work to wider concepts and ideas.
