>>> Altro che ordine dei giornalisti...

Dan Gillmor si è fatto un viaggietto in Corea del Sud e ha scoperto un nuova forma di giornalismo. (Ne parla anche Wired)

``The main concept is that every citizen can be a reporter,'' he says. ``We changed the concept of the reporter.''

OhmyNews is transforming the 20th century's journalism-as-lecture model, where organizations tell the audience what the news is and the audience either buys it or doesn't, into something vastly more bottom-up, interactive and democratic.

The main concept is that every citizen can be a reporter.

The influence of OhmyNews is substantial, and expanding. It's credited with having helped elect the nation's current president, Roh Moo Hyun, who ran as a reformer. Roh granted his first post-election interview to the publication, snubbing the three major conservative newspapers that have dominated the print-journalism scene for years.

The easy coexistence of the amateurs and professionals will, soon enough, seem natural. Publications like OhmyNews will pop up everywhere, because they make sense, combining the best of old and new journalistic forms.

OhmyNews is an experiment in tomorrow. So far, it's looking like a brilliant one
