Stand Alone Journalism

 

Jay Rosen, Associate Professor of NYU's Department of Journalism, has cowritten The Stand Alone Journalist is Here... with Chris Nolan, a former columnist at the Mercury News.
It is a nice story about the coming age of stand alone journalism.
In The Stand Alone Journalist is Here..., you will find the difference between bloggers, citizen journalists and stand alone journalists.
Rosen and Nolan have defined "stand alone journalism" as followed:

These are not bloggers. They are people who are using blogging technology--software that allows them to quickly publish their work and broadcast it on the Internet--to find and attract users. They understand that the barrier to entry in this new business isn't getting published; anyone can do that. The barrier to entry is finding an audience. That's why their editorial product is consistent, reliable and known. Readers have expectations and stand alone journalists understand this and put that understanding into practice.
