Jay Rosen’s Flying Seminar

Jay Rosen provides “a kind of flying seminar on the future of news, presented in real time” here where he posts links, with commentary, to best essays on new news models.

Excerpt: As the crisis in newspaper journalism grinds on, people watching it are trying to explain how we got here, and what we’re losing as part of the newspaper economy crashes. Some are trying to imagine a new news system. I try to follow this action, and have been sending around the best of these pieces via my Twitter feed. It’s part of my experiment in mindcasting, which you can read.
