All about living in this crazy, wonderful city called Bombay

January 25, 2004

I am putting together a project on how journalism and blogging influence each other, and how weblogs are changing the way journalists do their jobs.

The second part of the project revolves around the adaptations that journalists need to make in the face of a market poised on the brink of a flood of portable gadgets like E-paper, palm held wireless devices, chip-enabled TV, car dashboard receivers and so on. Such new technology means that the journalist has much lesser control of what an audience sees, hears or reads of what you have done, and when or where they see or hear it. How, then do you package the content? What if someone is reading while commuting? Watching while having dinner or cooking? How would one present the news differently if they were potentially getting your piece in their swimming goggles while doing laps?

What do you think? Do write in and let me know!
