Mark Milian erläutert in der LA Times How Google Wave could transform journalism. Ich kann das neue Google Produkt nicht beurteilen, entdecke aber erstaunliche Parallelen zu den fünf Innovationen, die der Journalismus dem Web zu verdanken hat.
Besonders spannend finde ich Milians sechsten Punkt, in dem er über Transparenz spricht und die Frage stellt:
What if we let readers watch the text as we write it? In our own testing, we found it to be a really fascinating peek into the writing habits and minds of our associates. It’s also comforting to know that we’re not the only ones who have trouble spelling the word „etiquette.“ Maybe we can go one step further and let the observers comment throughout the writing process. Readers could help shape a story.
