Journalism 2.0? “A job for many, not for everyone”
Dennis Redmont takes a picture of the state of the profession of journalist in the web 2.0 era in his contribution on the magazine “Aspenia Web 2.0: Potere e Libertà” – on sale since October 24th 2011. How does the role of journalists change within the new web platforms? How do they adapt their activities to new technologies? And how does the same idea of ‘editorial board’ evolve?
Journalism is no longer an economically rewarding job, at least for what the large-scale journalism of old editorial boards is concerned. All those brand-new types of journalism – such as on-demand and do-it-yourself journalism, or the use of anonymous sources and false identities – raise up one big question: is ‘real’ journalism dead? Are thus journalists a vanishing species? Absolutely not. Actually, a good journalist’s key is a constant application of standard rules. Essential and timeless rules. True journalists will continue to be clearly heard among the mass of voices coming from the web.

Sergio Marchionne’s interview with Fazio in the programme “Che tempo che fa” stirred much controversy. Speaking to the independent newspaper Lettera 43, Dennis Redmont noted that the CEO’s comments risked being blown out of proportion.
Rather, his comments “should come as a wake-up call, and force people to face up to reality,” said Redmont. That reality is Italy’s lack of competitiveness, the difficulties of doing business in the country, the critical employment market and the lack of guarantees from the unions. These all dissuade foreign investment. “The Italian work system does not offer flexibility, it is not based on meritocracy, and it does not invest in inovation. That is why foreign investment stays away.”
