"Ohmynews" entrevista Dan Gillmor Depois do impacte da decisão do colunista e blogger Dan Gillmor de deixar no próximo mês o San Jose Mercury News para iniciar um projecto novo ligado ao "jornalismo participativo", surgem as explicações e comentários do próprio Gillmor, numa entrevista dada - não havia melhor local para o fazer - ao OhmyNews. [Já agora, é interessante a leitura da comunicação do fundador do OhmyNews na conferência no Harvard University's Berkman Center Internet & Society, há oito dias, intitulada OhmyNews a 'Marriage of Democracy and Technology.] Das muitas perguntas e respostas interessantes da entrevista, retiro esta: "Q.- Your comparison of journalism-as-a-lecture model vs. journalism-as-conversation is fascinating. How would you like to implement this in your new media startup? A. - What I've been doing personally on the blog for some time now has been all about that. The only way you can have a conversation is if you listen. That's the first rule of conversation. And I've had a wonderful time listening, even when they attack me (laughter). I typically learn more from those who think I'm wrong than from people who think I'm right. Especially when they tell me why I'm wrong.And then once you learn how to listen -- which is something journalists need to do better -- then we can then say that with the tools being created -- things like what OhmyNews is doing -- then we can say "Don't just respond to us but let's all talk together" and "Let's develop ways of taking that publication of a story and broadcast and make that the beginning of something."
