Blogging for Knowledge Exchange
Daniel Okrent is the NYT readers' representative. Will he become a blogger?
Just One Minute´s idea is to invite the mainstream media to create blogs in order to engage readership and editors in a new way:
"The (New York) Times has a vast readership with a collective expertise far in excess of that possessed by any of its reporters. However, the Times seems to be trapped in a mindset that views itself as producers of news, and its readers as consumers. For example, although it receives roughly 1,000 Letters to the Editor each day, only about 15 are printed.
Rather than this Producer/Consumer "transmit only" model, the Times might want to recast itself as being engaged with its readership in a cooperative quest for the truth" (...) "Allow me to suggest the obvious - the Public Editor of the NY Times should be running a blog."
Jeff Jarvis and Rebecca MacKinnon also have ideas about this exchange proposal.
