Rebuilding Media is a "new blog on the disruptive changes afoot in media by Vin Croildingsbie and Bob Cauthorn," two of the new-media industry's leading thinkers and provocateurs. (Thanks to the Poynter Institute for this link.) While initial postings are spotty (like this blog), it's worth checking out.

A Taste of the Future of News
Today the Poynter Institute posted a short article about the future of news - using BBC News' website coverage of last week's bombings in London as an example. The BBC Web coverage included reports from both professional journalists and "citizen journalists" - complete with text reports and photos from both. The author, Steve Outing, concludes:
The point for me is that this combined pro/amateur coverage was better than professional coverage alone. I think this is the future of journalism: a collaboration between paid reporters, and citizens who are intimately involved in a story having the tools to tell their personal stories. Done right -- and BBC News is as close as I've seen to doing it right -- this represents better coverage of a big story.
Citizen Journalism is growing, and one of the good resources about C-J is the weblog I, Reporter.
