Reporters Getting Burned Out With New Technology, Journalists Tell …

“I have been blogging for years,” said Tony Messenger, a state capital bureau correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “I have yet to have a discussion in my newsroom about why we’re blogging and to tie that somehow into the newspaper’s business model. ”
He said he Twittered during a gubernatorial election debate, taking time from blogging and writing the next day’s newspaper story. Yet just 13 people were following his Twitter posts. “I should be sitting down with editors and other reporters who are using this technology and discussing whether it worked for this situation or that situation,” he said. “And how can we save jobs in the newsroom if we do this?”
Messenger was speaking at one of the National Press Club’s forums on “The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the Future of Journalism” the Club is holding around the country to mark its 100th anniversary.

People have suffered and died to gain you the right to select your leaders, do not say that they have suffered or died in vain by not voting. Recent additions to the list of blogs on The Brazil Times website include blogs by the Chief of the Brazil Police and the Clay County Sheriff. This was a surprise to me, but a welcome one. I would bet that most correspondence or communications received by the people in these positions involve problems and a few compliments. The public rarely hears of what has been said except by word of mouth. Once in a while, something might be considered newsworthy enough to be published in the paper or on the television and radio, but only rarely does the public come in contact with the police and Sheriff’s departments in a venue that allows for open two-way communication.
