[...] But the journalist is not going away — not as a discipline. To think so is foolish, just as suggesting that scientists are going away because Makezine is becoming popular. The rise of the amateur does not imply the demise of the professional, rather it signifies the continuation of the great sorting out that is going on, as suggested by Friedman. And in this case, it seems to me that if we are to make the best of it, we will rediscover and help redirect professionals back into the roles that they first trained for and originally desired to fulfil. Rather than writing to “please an audience” or “sell more papers”, the journalists of the future (in the original sense of the word, not the Wall Street version) will act on our behalf, helping us to understand and mediate the vast quantities of information that will surely be upon us all in short order.

Brief report on BarCamp Bangalore -- Chad Dickerson’s blog — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 17:54:14 +0000

[...] As I was thinking about the form to drive what I wanted to write, I decided that a blog post just didn’t feel right, then Chris took care of helping me out in my thinking without really knowing it (I’m quoting out of context here, so you should read the rest): . . . blogs are a great mechanism for communities to talk amongst themselves or for independent voices to gain an audience, but they are not entirely a substitute for a unified perspective that can connect the pieces and reassemble a complete story. The role journalists traditionally played was to tell stories that interwove diverse and contradicting views in the interest of keeping the public informed. [...]

I thought everything was hard from the Washington, DC area.

I saw the latest BarCamp from Bangalore had a video stream, just like the first BarCamp. I watched the first BarCamp on the first day from the stream. I followed the IRC chat. I pinged people to ask questions and be my voice. Chris was my legs by moving the laptop with the iSight on it around to where the people were. All of this was less than perfect, but it allowed me access it removed some distance.

I am just trying to provide options.

I wish for Bangalore I was not in the middle of meetings and a presentation or I would have been tethered to the feeds.

We can make this happen.

vanderwal: Yeah, I am aware of how unimportant distance is for communication, and I would have no problems working for Chris if this was just about blogging, But this isn’t just about that. This is about attending diferent kinds of camps and other meetups in the US, and then blog about that. And I figure that would be a little hard to do from Norway..
