In his latest post on the Online Journalism Blog, Paul Bradshaw expands on a recent Tweet to outline three basic attributes reporters and bloggers need in a networked era.
First, it's important to verify and contextualize. It's easy to publish, more difficult to dig behind the headlines and explain.
Second, it's valuable to put online what's offline. Making it findable also makes it usable.
Third, empower communities to connect. The Internet is a tool, not just a platform, and journalists can become connectors.
