Comments on: My hopes for journalists in the future http://savethemedia.com/2009/01/01/my-hopes-for-journalists-in-the-future/ A veteran journalist blogs about the new media revolution. Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:08:12 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: cosplay http://savethemedia.com/2009/01/01/my-hopes-for-journalists-in-the-future/comment-page-1/#comment-37689 cosplay Mon, 02 Aug 2010 03:09:41 +0000 http://savethemedia.com/?p=152#comment-37689 All good ideas. Just wanted to add my 2 cents from the Print viewpoint. To be clear, I’m neither a journalist nor involved in a newspaper. I’m a semi-retired blogger who spent 30 years running a Print business and then a stint teaching in design school.

As journalists we have to listen to the readers. Isn't that who we are writing for? So don't you think we should write what they are interested in too? And I also like number 5. I think it is also important for the future of journalism to be able to combine both. That way both print and online media can be used, instead of picking one or the other.
