What's the alternative?
I remember similar things said of their prior ombudsmans (ombudsmen? ombudespersons? ha). I stopped reading NYT when they helped sell Bush's Folly in Iraq, so I don't have a dog in this fight.
I ask because I've been eagerly awaiting the next iteration of journalism. Though I can't guess what that'd look like.
Frederic Filloux (mondaynote.com) has some notions. Mostly how to make it viable.
And I really wanted the Nerd TV 2.0 format experiment to happen (publish all source material as-is, much like we're asking for academics).
And lastly I really wanted the wikipedia model, as envisioned by Clay Shirky in Cognitive Surplus, to become more mainstream, but I don't know why that format isn't replicated more widely.
