100% juist.
Henry Blodget schrijft op de website van Business Insider dat we in een Gouden Eeuw voor journalistiek leven. Oude-stijl journalisten die voor hun baan vrezen zullen daar ongetwijfeld verbaasd van opkijken, maar de BI-columnist heeft 100 procent gelijk.
Een citaat (maar lees zijn hele stuk even):
More great journalism is being produced today than ever before. There are thousands upon thousands of successful professional news organizations in the world, and they employ hundreds of thousands of professional journalists. In addition, anyone in the world with an Internet connection can now create journalism and lots of them do. You don't need a printing press to create and distribute journalism anymore. You don't need a broadcast network or a radio station. All you need are your eyes, ears, nose, and storytelling and digital publishing tools, the latter of which are included for free on every smartphone. If anyone anywhere publishes an important fact or tells an important story, people will find it and share it. And it will get the attention it deserves.
