>>> Il bello dei blog II

Cesare in un post intitolato "Il bello dei blog" oggi scriveva:

Passi il tempo a menartela tra blog e giornalismo, feed e trackback, fin quando non arriva uno che ti disarma ricordandoti quanto certe cose siano più drammaticamente semplici, urgenti e vere:

I am glad that I live in the 21st century when injustice could be heard all around the world, just by a few words in your weblog.

Da Steppenwolf, blogger di Teheran.

Lawrence Lessig il 26 aprile scriveva:

On June 2, the FCC is scheduled to release new rules governing media ownership. The expectation is that the revised rules will remove limits on media concentration. The consequence of that change will be an extraordinary increase concentration, in an already concentrated industry.

These issues are hard. Big is not necessarily bad. Change in media structure is not necessarily corruption of media content. But the more I have read about creators worried about this increase in concentration, the more I have looked at this issue.

Surprisingly or not, the issue of media concentration is not being covered adequately by the media — that same media that will be affected by the changes in these rules. So that makes this ripe for the media in this space.

I’ve got a bunch of stories and statistics to report, and will. But this is something we need many many voices to report. Where else will the news not fit to print get printed — except in weblog space?

L'uno l'Iran. L'altro gli USA.
Bah.
