"If your calling is journalism, you enter the job market at the
same time that that the long and honorable history of American
journalism is traveling through the digestive tract of the
disinfotainment industry," declared writer Howard Rheingold in his
recent commencement speech at Stanford University. "But at the same
time, you arrive on the scene just at the moment something broader,
faster, and perhaps more democratic than the invention of
journalism is emerging. … Young people in every part of the world
are using and inventing blogs, wikis, mobile messaging, desktop
video, digital music, online animation, social software. … You
can – you MUST – innovate faster than your ability to innovate
can be enclosed by laws, regulations, and technological fences."
