Very alert commentary by the Guardian's editor-in-chief. On "inverting" the journalistic model: "Commentators are not the future... the expertise lies outside the newspaper; on so many subjects, they actually know more than we do" "serious journalism is not sustainable in this interim print vs. digital period" "blur the role between journalist and reader" "You can cling onto that [traditional Victorian] model, but in the end you'll just fall off a cliff" On Clay Shirky, Jeff Jarvis et. al.: "By the time I get up in the morning, these guys have gutted the world's press for me... it's like a personalised wire feed on the things that interest me... for free!"
