Rock-n-Go 岩棋志

It’s all started from the article, Dean Connection on NYT Sunday Magazine last weekend, when you saw Howard Rheingold‘s name on it. This leads me to the DeanSpace. It stated its goal as following:

“Howard Dean’s online grassroots campaigners are more savvy, nimble and numerous than those of any other candidate – our wired ranks now number in the hundreds of thousands and continue to grow. We want to keep that growth accelerating and allow the energy generated online to erupt into real-world campaigning.

But we can still do better. ”

“This Dean campaign is modeled by the Internet.” You did not realize what this mean until you went to his homepage. Just blog the link here and will come back to this later.

Rebecca Blood wrote in her “The Weblog Handbook” , page 19: “weblogs and journalisms are simply different things. What weblogs do is impossible for traditional journalism to reproduce, and what journalism does is impractical to do with a weblog.”

“To my mind, news reporting consists of interviewing eyewitnesses and experts, checking facts, writing a original representation of the subject, and editorial review: the reporter researches and writes a story, and his editor ensures that it meets her requirements. Each step is designed to produce a consistant product that is informed by the news agency’s standards. Weblogs do none of these things. ”

记得Stuart 的问题是这样的：“如果选择过程一直在发生，那么我们怎样建立一个理论，能够同时包含自组织和选择过程？”据EDGE说，Brian Goodwin曾经提出过自然选择结合结构主义的想法，两者间有关系吗？

中文翻译这样处理好些
Paticipatory Journalism “参与新闻”
Open-Souce Journalism “开源新闻”
P2P Journalism “P2P 新闻”
Interactive Journalism “互动新闻”
Citizen Journalism “公民新闻”
Personal Media 自媒体
Grassroots Reporting 草根报导
但是问题照旧，这些名词后面的内涵呢？

十九岁的锋芒。开题已经说出了一切，结局有那么重要吗？

This is Pierre Levy’s writing in the prologue of his book “Collective Intelligence”:
“The fusion of telecommunications, informatics, the news media, publishing, television, film, and electronic gaming within a unified industry” is not the only aspect, nor perhaps the most important.

What is the most important then? Here is his thinking along this question:

This is an open question. Do we really want to use the J word at all? But let me just put some of these words out here. They certainly cover different pattern of activities.

Paticipatory Journalism （参与新闻学）
Open-Souce Journalism （开源新闻学）
P2P Journalism （P2P 新闻学）
Interactive Journalism （互动新闻学）
Citizen Journalism （公民新闻学）
Personal Media （自媒体）
Grassroots Reporting (草根报导）
What else?

Nancy A. Van House 教授的研究领域有两个：数位图书馆和网络信息环境的信任问题 (the practices of trust in networked environmental information.) 她同时在做关于“Weblogs as Knowledge Communities”的研究。她是这样定义问题的： The Internet gives people access to information from unfamiliar sources, from outside their own knowledge community, and in unfamiliar genres. Information is cut loose from the traditional practices and institutions by which it is warranted, and the context that helps users understand and evaluate it. This creates problems, not only for information users, but for producers, who fear having their work misunderstood or used inappropriately. ”
