The Failure of We (the) Media
Skrentablog - The Failure of We (the) Media
There is actually a media revolution in the works. So what's going on here? By implicit definition, participatory media is non-commercial. If it's commercial, someone owns it, and it's not "we" anymore.
Furthermore, as soon as a new media venture crosses the line and tries to become a business, it either becomes a successful business or a failed one. Businesses aren't about ideology, they're about getting a job done and earning revenue to keep the thing going. Even wild success tends to leave ideology behind. Ideology is the realm of nonprofits and failures.
There is still a power law to success, and the few continue to reap disproportionate rewards, as they always have. Pub media turns out to be a farm league for big media. The bloggers who "make it" look more and more like regular media than "us". They graduate to to the A-list, and start to get lumped in and criticised along with the establishment. Success looks like a sellout to a big media company, or a good business doing job boards and conferences on the side to pay the bills.

推薦序:我們在寫網誌,我們在寫歷史
大約十年前在雜誌上曾看到一幅單格漫畫,漫畫裡畫著一個坐在街角乞討的乞丐,地上擺著空的奶粉罐和一張牌子,牌子上寫著「No E-mail Address(沒有電子郵件住址)」,當時有看到這幅漫畫的人,應該會對漫畫家的幽默會心一笑。的確,在十多年前擁有一個電子郵件住址(更明確的說應該是一個Unix帳號),就等於擁有整新興媒體。經過了十年,這個新興媒體加入了更多元素,身在其中的人都知道它的潛力不容小覷,記者出身的吉摩爾可以算是身在其中感受深刻的一員,他用這本書《We the Media》檢視這新興媒體的走向,主題雖然嚴肅,看完之後讓我同樣會心一笑。
