The mutualisation of news

“Gone are the days of "us and them" journalism. The web has led to a news community where ideas and news are shared rather than delivered”

With the revolution of the internet, people are able to upload information at any time of the day, it’s like rolling news you can update anything whenever you chose to. This is bad for professional journalists as people don’t consider their work to be any more valued than anyone else’s. Newspapers especially, the news which is published a day after it happens is seemed to be less shocking as people hear of it before hand.

"There was a very clear wall, dividing readers and writers," said Rusbridger to an in-house meeting of journalists

“Rusbridger says: "It cannot be true that there are only a handful of people worth listening to in the world. Comment is Free is infinitely richer and more diverse and more plural.”
