Until very recently, modern journalism was mostly a lecture -- journalism organizations told you what the news was, and you either bought it or you didn't. Today's professional journalist needs to understand, and capture, the fact that our readers/listeners/viewers know more than we do. That's not a threat. It's an opportunity. Digital collaboration and communication tools are helping us all create a new kind of journalism, something resembling a seminar or conversation. The tools range from e-mail to weblogs to peer-to-peer, and they all add up to something genuinely new in news. Don't ask about the business model, however; no one knows what it is.
