AttentionMax: Jim Lehrer: Renaissance of The News Gatekeeper

  • John Cass · 3 years ago
    Max, I think you are both right on this one. I think you are right when you state that you will trust non-professional bloggers to be a gatekeeper to knowledge you are interested in staying in touch with. And I think Jim Lehrer is right when he says publications can gain back some of their standing by being a gatekeeper in the new medium.

    Brand and reach do make a difference. And once old media embraces new media more, as they are increasingly doing so. I think those new entrants into the social media world will have an important impact because of their existing skills.
