No one knows for sure what the media landscape will look like in a decade from now, although everyone has an opinion. While multi-media gurus have begun the debate on the rise of "citizen journalism" blurring the lines over traditional media news reporting (via blogs, vlogs - video logs, etc) - to say it's the end of all print media, particularly newspapers, makes no sense at all according to newspaper bosses and editors at the World Association of Newspapers (WAN) and World Editors Forum annual getogethers this year, in Moscow, Russia this time around. The newspaper is indispensable according to some, because of journalism - good journalism that guides readers, making choices for them. However, proponents of citizen journalism say consumers want to make their own choices. One of the biggest newspaper groups in the world,
The Telegraph in the UK, believes that digital is the biggest step newspapers have had to take in the last 100 years. And it's a step directed by consumers who are now in control. Read more below from the WAN Moscow congress.
