Opportunities and Tensions for the News Industry

Madan Rao on E-Media Tidbits has an interesting post reporting on BBC anchor Nik Gowing, speaking at the recent World Summit on the Information Society in Geneva:

"New-media technologies like photo phones are making every citizen a potential eyewitness reporter; Internet publishing is speeding up the news cycle as well. All this spells new opportunities -- as well as tensions -- for the news industry.

Gowing showed footage of BBC's first-ever news broadcast where a correspondent reported live via a photo phone, for a story on ships".
