I think that Henry Copeland may have just coined a term in his nice welcome-back post about me: “post-media journalism.” Hmmmm. I like it. It beats social-media for what follows in news is more than media and more than social. We don’t know where it will end up, except that it comes after media. I also like the term because it blows up the definitions (and brains) used by the incumbents. They define themselves by their medium. But the media doesn’t matter now. The conversation does. The connections do. And the map of them is where news goes next. I think.
Actually, I would prefer the term “post-journalism media,” given how much of the journalism dogma of the past century has been found to be untrue, unwanted by news consumers, and unable to survive in a newly competitive environment, e.g. objectivity, the discipline of verification, the public’s right to know, and the limited ability of journalists to deliver real truth given their limited resources. (Steve Boriss, The Future of News)
Herbert Marshall McLuhan long ago exposed the charade of ‘media-journalism’ in his most popular work– “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man” (1964).
McLuhan would have well understood current flaps over TV news-anchors Dan Rather & Katie Couric; they are not journalists, but media performers. Their alleged news-content/journalism is trivial compared to the impact of the huge media stage (..circus ?) they use to communicate with the masses. The internet medium is much less fertile to celebrity performers & pretenders.
MSM “news-content” is unimportant… and usually non-existent.
The medium is the message.
“Journalism” was perfect but is now perfectly debased.
Neo-journalism? “New” journalism in name but really journalism as it should have been all along, plus the frisson of fear from the partial connection to neo-conservative.
What is a web log but a journal in it’s original, purest form?
I don’t think you can be ‘post-media’. I am not sure you can be post-journalism either. That’s like being ‘post-economic’ or ‘post society’. Mainstream mass journalism was a type of media and now its changing. I think ‘Networked Journalism’ is a label for ‘post-mainstream mass news media’ that covers most bases. But people have always communicated about topical issues and events outside of the professional news media. The difference now is that ‘citizen media’ is being enpowered and blossoms in to new forms.
The medium is no more the message

[...] Jeff Jarvis coined the phrase Post Media a while ago and it seems to find traction in Social Media Circles. How will the Post Media Agency be reimbursed for their thinking and execution? The commission model makes no sense in the post media world. We will see a much stronger correlation between business goals/objectives and agency fees. And business goals won’t be determined by sales or leads alone, they will be defined as connections and relationships. We’ve seen first steps into that direction but we’ve just begun. [...]
