Iran can also refuse to send the used cores back to Russia and to use them for manufacture of plutonium. If Russia will stop deliveries of nuclear fuel, Iran can buy it from China or enrich own uranium.

Professional journalism is slowly giving way to citizen journalism and itâ€™s changing the way news is covered. Evolving is a much better way of saying it. Instead of local newspapers or major television stations watch-dogging important public figures, everyone has the ability to watchdog everyone else. The public now is talking about them, fact-checking them, overlooking them. My only concern is the the public using this new “power” in a responsible manner. If they are the new journalists, then they need to follow some of journalists code of conduct such as unbiased reporting.

Wait–is this about Iraq? Mr. Jarvis, have you simply stopped writing about the topic since the facts don’t allow you to demonize others, anymore? Too ashamed?

If you still believe in the war, tell us. If not, tell us that. At least Andrew Sullivan is man enough to apologize. Why haven’t you? Or at the least: why don’t you even talk about it?

I don’t think that the “networked journalism” reporting method is anything new. Polling has been around for a long time, and is a great method for uncovering certain types of information.

Reporters haven’t take polls too often because it can be very time-consuming. The Internet simply makes the whole process a little easier and faster, and thus a better tool for journalism.

As I blog more and more, I am starting to approach my blogs as a journalist.
I’ve been contacting the source companies that I blog about instead of just reading rehashed information from others sites and blogs.

I figured that this is what the big news companies do.. They get the story, but then have to fact check the info.

Gathering credible data makes a blog/site more valuable to readers.

I believe iReporters and Networked Journalism will increasingly expand as more and more people realize the personal power of the ‘press’. I can see a future of intricately intertwined information and data gathering that massively articulates more of the ‘truth’ instead of ’spin’. It is high time we, as the people, take the power back from the conglomerate called mainstream media and their big business sponsors and special interests and get the news we deserve, or I should say the ‘Truth’ we deserve.

Great article.

“Gathering data” should’ve been the starting point for antique journalism as well, not to mention just about every other endeavor in life.
