Hypercamp - blogging as the backbone of news in the future?

“Sidebar to last Sunday’s Rebooting The News podcast with Jay Rosen, relating the blogger assignment desk idea to Hypercamp, which is a more comprehensive blueprint for how blogging becomes the backbone of news in the future. Also a response to Kevin Marks.” Dave discusses the Hypercamp idea, where there would be a permanent newsroom as an open resource for the blogging community, allowing bloggers to collaborate and cover news events together. He envisions this as a way to apply the principles of amateur journalism and citizen reporting, cutting out the middlemen of traditional media. Dave believes this approach will lead to more direct access to sources and diverse perspectives, rather than the single viewpoint of professional journalists. He sees this as the natural evolution of how news and information will be shared in the future, enabled by technology and the willingness of people to contribute their time and ideas.
