The New News?
Dave Winer has a great idea for what the news of the future should look like.
I think to some degree (though not for TV news) that is what products like Particls are working towards. A simple, non-intrusive system that learns what is of interest to me and only displays the most relevant items to me at times of my own choosing.
With video on the web getting more and more pervasive, it might only be a question of time before we can do something like this with video and audio as well.
Now I don’t know if any of this would get me to watch TV news again. I am a “written word” kind of guy. TV news is too slow for me. I can get more in-depth info faster from the NYTimes or even CNN online.
I do subscribe to CNN’s Pipleline, though. When it comes to live breaking news, nothing beats TV.
