BLOGS: DEMOCRATIZING THE NEWS?
Sumit Basu, Microsoft Research
News Was Once for the Lucky Few…
Newsprint for All (or Most)
Taking It Online: (All) News for All!
Blogs: News *from* All
Providing commentary on news events, stories, people, issues, etc.
Aggregating articles on a story
Surfacing “hidden” articles or events
A playlist for news A conversation about
news Doesn’t this make
everything better?
How Does This Change News? More participants in the news
Greater participation by producers and readers
A greater diversity of opinion Checks and balances on news bias
An overwhelming amount of news Hundreds of news sources Thousands of political blogs What are you going to read?
The risk of getting even more polarized
So How Do We Put it all Together?
