“Newspapers are supposed to have an infinite time horizon,” Shirky said from NYU's campus in Shanghai, China. “They're supposed to be around. They're more like churches or schools.”

Back in 1993, the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain began investigating piracy of Dave Barry’s popular column, which was published by the Miami Herald and syndicated widely. In the course of tracking down the sources of unlicensed distribution, they found many things, including the copying of his column to alt.fan.dave_barry on usenet; a 2000-person strong mailing list also reading pirated versions; and a teenager in the Midwest who was doing some of the copying himself, because he loved Barry’s work so much he wanted everybody to be able to read it.

The Roanoke Times, the local paper in my family home, is a classic metro daily, with roots that go back to the 1880s. Like most such papers, it ran into trouble in the middle of last decade, as print advertising revenue fell, leaving a hole in the balance sheet that digital advertising couldn’t fill. When the 2008 recession accelerated those problems, the Times’ parent company, Landmark, began looking for a buyer, eventually selling it to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Media Group in 2013. The acquisition was greeted with relief in the newsroom, as Buffett had famously assured the employees at his earlier purchases “Your paper will operate from a position of financial strength.” Three months after acquiring the Times, BH Media fired 31 employees, a bit over a tenth of the workforce.

Five years ago Clay Shirky wrote an eloquent blog post titled “Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable.” His essential argument was that we were only at the very beginning of trying to figure out new models for journalism following the cataclysmic changes wrought by the Internet — like Europeans in the decades immediately following the invention of Gutenberg’s press. Along with a subsequent talk he gave at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center, Shirky helped me frame the ideas that form the foundation of “The Wired City,” my book about online community journalism.

I realize now that I may have overpromised. When asked recently to suggest a topic for a speech I will give on Friday to several hundred college journalists at their annual convention, I went with something snappy sounding. My talk is called “Journalism 2020: A Forecast and Guide to the Years Ahead for Young Journalists.”

NYU’s Clay Shirky calls Ken Doctor and me shills and nostalgists for our respective coverage of Aaron Kushner’s investment in The Orange County Register, and goes on to write that the “toxic runoff from CJR and Nieman’s form of unpaid PR is poisoning the minds of 19-year-olds.” - See more at: http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/a_reply_to_clay_shirky.php?page=all#sthash.XINMEOZ1.dpuf

The Allvoices' hosted online symposium titled, "Hyper-local Reporting Transforms Mainstream Global News Coverage," featured Allvoices' founder and CEO, Amra Tareen, Clay Shirky and Scott Stearns, Voice of America correspondent for Western and Central Africa. Their discussion ranged from how digital media has transformed news reporting, to citizen journalists' empowerment of local communities and the shaping of a greater global conversation through platforms designed to spread news as broadly as possible. Real-life examples of citizen and civic participation from around the world were given to illustrate citizen journalism's power to affect sociological changes.

In an op-ed piece in the New York Times, an author complained about repeatedly being asked to write for free, but what he finds so insulting is something many others see as an opportunity — and it is not going away any time soon
