Deadwood
Responses to -31- Debut
-31- began with a bang this week and I hope the conversation will continue as the project grows. As noted in this Poynter emedia tidbit, we won’t be able to have comments on the entries until the fall when Editor & Publisher adds some blogging functionality, but we’ll work around it until then.
I did receive some messages from journalists (young and old!) who were enthusiastic about beginning an ongoing dialogue on the future of journalism. People who know me well can attest that I’ve been a crusader for delivering compelling news to the millennial generation since I was a 19-year-old opinion columnist in the Daily Bruin at UCLA. I then studied millennial media habits in graduate school at Northwestern University, and my first real job was as a general assignment reporter and columnist at RedEye, the Chicago Tribune’s special daily edition for 18- to 34-year-old readers.
There was some skepticism about whether -31- (and it’s esoteric reference to the deadwood edition; the mark “-30-” used to denote the end of a reporter’s story) will resonante with younger journalists. That will be entirely dependent upon who chooses to participate. I hope journalists of all varieties will choose to own a piece of the conversation and contribute.
