To some people, it's a pretty horrifying idea that news could be published without a closed-loop editorial system, but that open, group-editing process is going on right on in social media communities around the world. We have to change our thinking and accept that it is possible to create a new and better kind of journalism using the new tools that are in place. Not all journalism will be done this way, but who's to say there can't be many kinds of journalism?<br /><br />If anyone would like to download a PDF of my essay, "How the coming newspaper industry collapse will reinvigorate journalism," it's available at http://www.gillin.com/Collapse_of_newspapers.pdf.
