Old Growth Media and the Future of News

Great speech by Stephen Berlin Johnson at SXSW, posted here in full.

If only there were some institution that had a reputation for journalistic integrity that had a staff of trained editors and a growing audience arriving at its web site every day seeking quality information. If only… Of course, we have thousands of these institutions. They’re called newspapers.

The whole thing is worth a read, but this conclusion is spot-on. As the web expands further it will become harder and harder for even the web-saavy to distinguish the crackpot from the reliable reporter. I think we all have some crazy friend who sends us links to blogs “proving” that Obama is an anti-American Muslim bent on destroying the United States. As more and more folks get online it’s only going to get more difficult for people to differentiate between reality and bullshit.

Alien

When the creature burst through the chest a stream of blood shot directly at Veronica Cartwright, shocking her enough that she fell over and went into hysterics.

I forgot how much I love this movie.
