If Facebook may attract so many people because--perhaps--its users care more about publishing their thoughts than actually communicating with others or informing them--does this give some credence to the "citizen journalism" Jones writes about on p. 190 of "The New News Media" in Losing the News? That is, do you see something like "citizen journalism" fitting into your world--or is Jones putting all his eggs into this electronic basket?
Is the idea of "citizen journalism" something that might be in our future--or is it possible that it is already here (E. g. commentary citizens currently contribute to online news sites or blogs becoming the information of the news sites)?
Or do you think Jones's ideas are far-fetched? Remember that news aggregates like AP & Reuters rely on paid journalists' work, as do all bloggers, whether they have followers (like Drudge, Huffington) or whether they are like this blog, created by us and for us exclusively.
