The kill-print movement ignores so much reality; these exchanges are provocative, but so often I think that the instant-publishing nature of blogging lends itself to under-thought, under-researched pronouncements that then get picked up and given a great deal of exposure because they are so dramatic.Melanie Sillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14391886448558663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312183777522008540.post-10057716464114383372008-12-26T15:24:48.256-08:002008-12-26T15:24:48.256-08:00My comment posted to Jarvis' "Hope" ...My comment posted to Jarvis' "Hope" entry:<br><br>Interesting post by Roussel. Wonder why there’s such a need for many commenters (and Jarvis) to declare a zero sum, print-vs-digital reality. Each form of communication offers advantages and drawbacks. As a newspaper editor who believes in digital communication, I can tell you that many people rely on print newspapers, including many who get some portion of news online. The answer isn’t to abandon that readership, but to keep our focus on informing people most effectively and engaging them as participants in their communities and stakeholders in the issues we cover. We should make better print newspapers and better use of our Web tools, including meaningful linkage with individual and institutional knowledge in our communities.<br><br>We’re in transition; I like this line from Roussel’s suggestions, “The role of a newspaper company on the Web is to add value: look at a story from a number of angles, engage your audience, add multimedia.” Smart, knowledgeable, practical thinking. And best of all, constructive — too much energy by too many smart people is being wasted on insults and blame.<br><br>Thanks for posting these, Jeff.Melanie Sillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14391886448558663057noreply@blogger.com
